i always was under the impression that people (not just jocks) do drugs as a way of avoiding reality. of course reality is still there, it just becomes distorted due to whatever it is the person puts into their system.
thing is, until someone is ready to admit a problem and chooses to fix it, no rehab in the world will get them straight. you can intervene, talk, yell, threaten, cajole....you're wasting your time until the person with the problem recognizes there is a problem.
offering repeat 'second' chances imo will only exacerbate the problem. anyone banned should have to be clean, sober, for at least a year before re-instatement. otherwise you have situations such as pvals.
