bottle of what … ??
Does anyone (aside from the Dutch Federation) believe this story?
… Van Gelder was poised to make a storybook comeback at the October World Championships after winning gold on rings at the Ghent World Cup in September. But he withdrew from the competition days before it began, and the Dutch announced he had again been using cocaine.
Van Gelder has since come forth and said that his “confession” of cocaine before Worlds was false, and that he had had problems dealing with the pressure of performing in a Worlds at home so soon after making his comeback. …
That makes no sense. If he was not ready to compete, psychologically, it would have been easier to “fake” an injury.
