Stoner Breaks Cover

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SackWack @ Aug 27 2009, 09:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I never said this before but he needs to start smoking weed.
I'd agree if it relaxes him. Some people trip out though.

actually I hope the kid recovers, but honestly, made a boat load of cash, married a hottie, won a championshiop. Hey if he's stressed go retire and get big bucks for some media coverage and call it a day. Im not saying give up, but have a life, you earned it.

-rumours hayden is ....... his wife
-He needs to smoke weed
-Rossi pressure syndrome
-Hayden needs to cuddle with him and speak some knowledge of life in his ear.

Honestly top shelf stuff,keep it coming.....

MDub I actually think you made a good point. Better than my weak attempt. Sometimes you just have to say .... it and let things go. Obviously they take things very seriously in their profession but it's sounds like Stoner is taking it to his detriment. I think Stoner also has a lot of growing to do. Once he matures, if he can keep his racing spirit he will be there. Hayden needs to cuddle with him and speak some knowledge of life in his ear.

.... It.
i think he would rather cuddle adriana and whisper sweet nothings into her ear

His father said something about his diet being looked over.
As he couldn't even train because he got too tired.So no preassure there,just lifting some weights or what ever,and he couldn't do it.
I think the preassure and his mind that seems to be almost too tuned in on competition is the reason.
In a combination of an infection and bad diet started the wheel.
If he's exercising like an athlete ofcourse you've got to eat right.Didn't someone tell him that?
Get a personal trainer/dietist fast !!
And while you're at it ,get a sports psycologist!
Look at the PGA tour (golf).Almost everyones got it,and they seem to do miracles to some.

Explosive revelation:
Capirossi Turned Down Ducati To Re-Sign With Suzuki
“From my side, Ducati situation is not so clear but really bad, because Ducati go to many riders to offer money,” said Capirossi. “When you buy rider for money it’s strange. A rider he have to come to want to ride your bike. When you want to ride your bike it’s fine, but when you just go because they offer money it’s not nice situation.

“I think nobody know what happen to Casey [Stoner]. Nobody know, I think, just him. My feeling, I work one year with him, I don’t really know what happen. But I really hope for him to come back.

“What happen to Ducati if he don’t come back? Now the only rider who ride Ducati well after Stoner is me, because I do many podium, I win one race, always I am close to him. In all winter tests I am some time faster but always close to him.

“But also the situation like now is they [Ducati] try every rider, every rider jump on the bike. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know the situation. Also for Ducati it’s not clear at this moment.

“I ride five seasons with Ducati. I want to say thank you to Ducati, but when it stop it stop. After 20 seasons I need to have enjoy. I really love to work with people, and I say Suzuki people everyone is so friendly, is so beautiful to work. OK, we say for sure our bike in that moment is not the top one. We know, everybody know that. But I really enjoy to work with the people. This is for sure really important. This is why I am here, you know. Some times, OK, somebody coming to offer more money, but for me is no meaning. I just need good place to work.”

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jumkie @ Aug 27 2009, 10:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I actually felt his interview was a bit scary.
Ya Jum... the interview was scary. I don't know how you others are reading it but for me it is like a thundercloud - an evil omen - for the career of one Casey Stoner.

The gist of what he is saying is encapsulated in this passage, "It was a really bad feeling for me, to realise that while I was riding my bike, while I was racing and fighting against my rivals, I was really pushing to the maximum, I was giving it my all, but there was nothing I could do to avoid those results I don't like. They are not up to my usual level of performance.

"This [break] was the only possibility I could see. I convinced myself that I had to detach myself, for a short time but completely, from what I was doing: I had to disconnect from racing."

Are you for real dude? Casey, I had hope that this episode was going to be a minor blip in an otherwise stellar career. I now believe that you possess a destructive flaw in your championship-winning personality. "Stoner - Speedy but Psycho" ain't the best calling card...

"Stoner believes that his condition has been provoked by pushing himself beyond his physical limits this season. "I'm certainly not the first athlete to do that," he said. "I have got to the point that I need rest, because the fatigue has become too much..."

Alwright 'Sliders help me here - which other "Ultra Elite" athletes have had to take unscheduled and PUBLICLY UNDIAGNOSED mid season "rests". All I'm coming up with is Magic, but he had HIV... Oh yeah, Maradona but he was, well, wasted.

The crap is flowing fast here. The interpretation of his statement by some of you guys is comical. Some people seem to think if they keep bagging him and talking him down enough then it will come true.

I predict that he will come back and win more than 50% of the remaining races. I also predict that the whiners will say that he has an unfair advantage because he is rested up where as all the other riders are tired because they didn't have a break.

Tracey Austin, Jennifer Capriati, Martina Navratilova (all by way of 'early' or 'temporary' retirements. )

A number of golfers have taken extended leave from the game for ailments (ie. Baker-Finch, Bernard Langer - both yips which is yet to be identified with a cause) as well as the old 'need a rest' breaks.

Freddie Spencer - initially, although subsequently diagnosed.

An Australian cricketer called Damian Martyn who whilst still a member of the national side, walked away and retired bacse he had 'fallen out of love with the game'.

There would likely be many many more, some masked as temporary or even permanent retirements at a young age, many possibly later diagnosed as genuine illnesses that were not recognised at the time.

I hope he's not too embarrased,macho or proud or whatever to talk to a head doctor who knows athletes minds.
I believe he needs it,and i really think it will change things.There is actually a Swedish guy,Kjell Enhager,(Lives in my hometown,and i have met him in the local gym actually. )quite famous who has helped alot of golfers for instance.

i will add english cricketer Marcus Trescothick to that list as well. the parallels to stoners illness are quite eerie and marcus has not returned to full time competition yet, probably never will.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Trescothick

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>During England's tour of India in February 2006, Trescothick abruptly returned home citing personal reasons. He later blamed a virus.

Trescothick returned to Test cricket in May, scoring 106 against Sri Lanka to become the first Test centurion of the 2006 English season. The century proved to be the high point of Trescothick's Test summer, however, as he reached a half-century just once in the subsequent six Tests against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. This run of form was lifted later in the year by two ODI centuries, one apiece against Ireland and Sri Lanka. In September, he withdrew from the remaining ODIs against Pakistan and asked not to be considered for the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy squad because of a stress-related illness. It was later believed likely that Trescothick had been suffering from clinical depression, which was also the cause of much of his trouble throughout 2006.

Returning once again to the international arena, Trescothick was included in the squad for the 2006–07 Ashes in Australia, and played in the first two tour matches against the Prime Minister's XI and New South Wales. On 14 November, following the match against New South Wales, England announced Trescothick was flying home due to a "recurrence of a stress-related illness". Geoffrey Boycott later stated that depression amongst cricketers is rarely documented, but with the current congested ICC schedule, player "burnout" and similar illnesses were becoming more commonplace

Trescothick's uncertainty over his place in the England squad drew varied criticism. However, he also received support from respected players, including Somerset captain Justin Langer, Alec Stewart, Mike Gatting, and Bob Woolmer.

If I am not mistaken Capriati had a drug problem. Very similar case to cs in the nfl last year. Vince Young, unbelievable collage quarterback amounts to .... in nfl. There were rumors of an attempted suicide last year, in which he took the remainder of the season off due to depression. Just in the news, 2nd year nba player sentenced to a treatment center after finding desperate suicidal like messages on his twitter account. Michael Beasley I think his name is. So its not uncommon at all.

So that's 2 out of four races then.

Disagree. I think PI is a possibility. Estoril will be the Vale and Jorge show again, Sepang will be too hot, and Valencia is too physically exacting.

Hope Stoners ...... is getting better....
where would he be in the Championship if he would 've at least showed up to work?.

How does this in any way contribute to the debate? You act like a surly six year old,and the repeated ...... references are childish and tiresome.

Do you hate women??

Casey is physically unable to perform at the moment, so superficial remarks like yours show you don,t understand a thing, don,t try to, or are not capable of understanding. You should join Pinky in a padded room and exchange stupid inanities.

There is a rumour CS was prescribed a drug for his "illness" that if he was to be blood tested would result in him being sidelined for taking a prohibited or band substance anyway, hence the need for him to sit out 3 weeks for the substance to clear?
