I know a lot of us have read this thread and been really discouraged by some of the athletes behavior talked about here and the rationalizing of underage drinking. I just want to say that it has actually given me hope to read all of the many more replies saying it's not ok. Whenever I hear "they're going to drink anyway every kid does" from a parent, I think- No they all don't, some do... but I'd bet money yours does after hearing you say that! Thank you for really making me feel like there are more parents not saying that. Sometimes I think we tend to only hear the bad things. So yes I think that Worlds and the USASF need to follow through with their rules, rules aren't rules without consequences! But for this post-Thank You for giving me faith in most of the parents out there, (not saying kids that drink must have bad parents, kids make mistakes, I do think with strong parents they have a better chance of not making the huge ones or making the same ones over and over). Thank You to all the many athletes that make the right and sometimes hard choice to do the right thing.
Having read every post on this thread I see much more good than bad. Thank you.
