FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: Hi. I have read your article about Anthony. I would be grateful if you could make it clear that the addiction is completely gone and Anthony has been clean for a long time. The court case was adjourned last year a few times and so for the article to give the impression that it is a current thing is very misleading. I understand that you have not in any way embellished the facts but you were not given the full facts. The newspaper article in Australia was also very misleading and did not state the full facts. It also selectively printed only part of the whole storey. The reason why Anthony received such a minor penalty is that the judge could see that Anthony had taken steps to help himself and was no longer an addict. He has in fact been clean for a long time. Some jealous person over here has gotten hold of the article and has sent it to every journalist and motorcycle person all over the world and this in itself is very sad that someone could be so hateful as to try to sabotage another person. Thank you, Sue Gobert (Note: Sue Gobert is Anthony Gobert’s mother and manager.) FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: I just read the article about Anthony Gobert. Although I don’t condone of any illegal drug use, especially in sports, I find it sad that our society (or possibly just the press) seems to have a fascination with building people up, and then tearing them down. People make all kinds of mistakes in life–small ones, big ones, private ones and very public ones. But at the end of our lives, I believe that we are as much judged (if not more so) by how we correct our mistakes, than by the mistakes we make. So let’s give Anthony a break.
