The OP is absolutely correct!

Most people would say that the best poker of alltime is Stu Unger and he was a cokehead. Coincidence? I think

If poker is going to be taken seriously as a competitive sport it is integral that we have a governing body make sure that people aren't taking coke or shooting heroin during the games.

Do not even get me started on Mariuana either. I have heard rumors that a lot of these online pros smoke weed during their sessions and they are all amazing players.

Drugs give people an unfair advantage and we need to eradicate our game before people start thinking that poker players are just a bunch of degenerates.

I think your totally wrong. Stu might have done coke but not when he was playing poker. Coke is too edgy and requires to much coke to sucessfully use it to play poker. I think some of the add drugs might be better

Ungar, and alot of other pros, used coke to fuel their marathon sessions back in the day. Stuey just liked it so much that he let it take over his life.
