Aye, even when the boxing ended he could have still done family TV stuff, especially for the North West where the local media adored him, but they wont touch him now

Yeah and if they do he will have to go to great lengths to change the perception of him......he cant do an interview or reality TV show following him showing the aftermath because it just wouldnt work and its been done to death (thanks Kerry K). I really do think for him to have a future in the media he should do Jail time......it will let him show he's sorry and that he's paid for what he did....anyway looks like an interesting story im sure it will develop!

Aye, it'd go with his ordinary guy image, as celebs are usually excluded from the law

I so admired that guy. I've just seen it on Sky News and my jaw dropped. I'm disgusted and pretty upset actually. He was someone kids could look up to. Now this?! Prat!

I feel the same

Shocking. And what makes it even worse is that footballers seem to be just as bad if not more. They think they can do what they like just cause they get paid about £100k a week.

He is an adult FFS. As long as he isin't running over people in a coke induced rage I don't see how it's our place to judge.

As for being a role model for kids? Please. He is a boxer. The guy makes a living by risking severe brain damage to himself and others.

Let's not forget this is not the stricty domain of 'celebrities'. Ordinary people take drugs too, I would imagine.

It about respect, I had respect for Ricky, but now he's lost it all
