This sort of thing has happened to other types of entertainers in the past. With athletes though, I have some sympathy because many of them get hooked on painkillers that they are originally prescribed by team doctors. If Richards is indeed an addict and it was either the Kings or Flyers that introduced him to oxy, then I think he should at least be given a rehab opportunity and an opportunity to fight the ban from the US before his contract is completely terminated.
