Shane has bi-polar disorder, a serious problem. It is a chemical imbalance that is sometimes difficult to diagnose and treat. I know this, because I've had three family members diagnosed with it. One family member did drugs, one did alcohol, and one did both. It is an attempt to medicate yourself to try to reduce the symptoms of this terrible affliction. It has ripped my family apart at times trying to cope with it.
You can't dismiss this as him just being a drugged-up little punk. He's no more guilty than a cancer patient taking morphine to try to get some relief from the pain. It's just a different kind of pain. A disease is a disease and they come in all shapes and forms. I say cut him some slack.
Best of luck to Shane and I for one will be rooting:thumb for him from the stands at the track and for his well being off the track.
