However, it's possible that the drug money was used to gain the opportunity to begin with. perhaps w/o that money none of them would've ever sat in an indy car? i don't know. if the opportunity was there to begin with, and they chose to engage in this behavior anyway, that's crazy! they indeed blew it. on the other hand, if they did this stuff in order to get their foot in the door of big time racing? well, it's still wrong but it mitigates it a little.......... i guess? maybe not. I know before i finally got my first sprint car ride, i would've done just about anything for the chance. thankfully, it came before i did anything stupid like run drugs!
