Sniff Sniff | You know how this will all end, right?
I hate myself for liking Boonen. No, loving Boonen. I'm a tank like him (6'2" 180) and always empathize with the big men who have to suffer like pigs when the terra firma tilts up and the waif's float away. God help them when the land flattens out again...
Anyways, oops, he did it again. The boy's definitely got a problem. This is not recreational use (WTF does that mean anyways) in my opinion and the fact he's turning to blow again...after what all thought was a rad and remarkable step back up to the peloton's 'top step' after his Roubaix win this year and with it erasing all that bad in his past from his first cocaine bust...
So how's it going to end?
It's all going to end up on Belgian reality TV. Probably right after Wellens and Me re runs or that crappy show about the Planckaerts. I can see it now: It'll be about a struggling Boonen, all bloated, working in a factory being managed by Ludo Dierckxsens, as he tells tales about depression and pressure and....(insert the 'where are they now?' TV show play book from VH1 here).
Pressure? Try growing a family, Boonen. Get laid off and push hard to continue supporting your family. Try maintaining some self respect and salvage the respect little kids have for you in Belgium while they read your own comic book.
Hit the buy now button folks...

so so disappointing, i took my 11yr old son to Paris Roubaix this year and created a Boonen fan, like his dad was.
Sweet, now we are as legit as the NBA!!! -ac2
Filip M. also ended up doing Belgian reality TV after his doping scandal. If I'm lucky, he still might come up to Breck in the fall for some vaca. He's earning a steady paycheck on the road, his mtb race days are done.
