In the last two weeks, San Francisco Giants starters Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon have been suspended for testosterone boosters. Now, Lance Armstrong has dropped his fight against doping charges. FirstPost’s Sandip Roy, a former New America Media editor, asks if we’re becoming inured to cheating.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Lance Armstrong has thrown in the towel with all the <em>abhimaan</em> (self-absolution) of a martyr. He has announced that he will not fight the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on doping charges, not because he is admitting guilt, but because “enough is enough" and he is just the victim of an “unconstitutional witch-hunt."</p> <p>  </p> <p> The USADA has said piously that it’s a “sad day for all of us who love sport and our athletic heroes," and said it will ban him for life and strip him of his seven Tour de France titles.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Punishment Used to be Prison</strong></p> <p> Putting aside the merits of each side’s arguments, what’s blindingly clear is we’ve come a long way from Marion Jones.</p> <p>  </p> <p> After the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Jones was America’s hero. She had won five medals in track and field. She was showcased in an IMAX film called <em>Top Speed</em>. She became one of the first female millionaires in track and field. When she finally pleaded guilty in 2007 to lying about using steroids, she lost everything.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Jones was sentenced to six months in prison. The bank foreclosed on her mansion. She had to sell off her mother’s house to raise money. “Being No. 1 and being Marion Jones meant nothing in prison," she told a television show earlier this year.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Armstrong might lose his seven titles, but he seems confident that he is in little danger of losing anything else. In his book he is still No. 1, and he is still Lance Armstrong, the great white hope of cancer survivors everywhere.</p> <p>  </p> <p> “I know who won those seven Tours, my teammates know who won those seven Tours, and everyone I competed against knows who won those seven Tours," he said in his statement.</p> <p>  </p> <p> By calling it quits instead of risking being found guilty in court or in arbitration, he can play more sinned against than sinning. He talked about being “the fittest 40-year old on the planet" and the work he plans to do with his foundation and its milestone of raising $500 million.</p> <p>  </p> <p> That’s not chump-change for an athlete who is quitting a fight under a cloud. But Armstrong is obviously gambling on the fact that drugs and doping have become so commonplace now that the public is increasingly blasé about them.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/mediumtourdefrance%20%28Gideon%29.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 300px; " /></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Tiger Woods</strong></p> <p> Now, if Armstrong had been caught in a sex scandal -- that might have been far more serious for his future endorsements, his foundation and his stature as one of cycling’s all-time greats. Tiger Woods found that out the hard way. His endorsement career came to a screeching grand slam of a halt after his extramarital affairs hit the tabloids. More than a dozen women claimed to have had affairs with him. Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a tree. His wife left him.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Mind you, none of this had anything to do with his golf. But AT&amp;T, Accenture, Gatorade, Gillette all dropped him like a hot potato. Woods, who had a goody-goody image in public and played a genteel sport, had been caught in the cardinal advertising sin -- not being the wholesome family man he professed to be. He became endorsement dog food.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Will the same thing happen to Lance Armstrong? After all, the charges against him relate directly to his sport. Will the Livestrong collection of shoes and apparel be retired? Will all those yellow rubber bands become collectors’ items? Nike has already said it will stick by Armstrong. ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell noted, “Fact of the Night: @lancearmstrong has 820 times the Twitter following of @usanatidoping." Armstrong is still ranked #21 in the most influential celebrities on Twitter, according to WeFollow.com.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Rovell guesses that donations to his foundation will go down, but “Armstrong won’t lose the people who he told to live strong, who he inspired to fight on when they had lost their hair, when chemo had ravaged their bodies just like it had invaded his."</p> <p>  </p> <p> Armsrong’s advertisers are more likely to remember that in 2007, when he was already in the last lap of his cycling career, he became the spokesman for a small caffeine-free energy drinks company. In three years its sales had grown five-fold and it raised $23 million in investment funding according to CNBC.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A Moral Failure – or Mere Technicality</strong></p> <p> The public has become so inured to doping stories now that it pretty much assumes every athlete takes something or the other in the race to the top. Its legality seems to be more a matter of technicality and timing than any great moral failure. Athletes have blamed everything for failing drug tests.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Tyler Hamilton, who accused Armstrong of doping, said his red blood cell boost was because of a twin who died in utero and somehow contributed some blood cells to him before dying. Another Tour de France winner Alberto Contador said the clenbuterol in his blood came from a steak that came from a cow that must have been dosed with it. Perhaps so. But for the public, it’s just an alphabet soup of polysyllabic chemical names. In locker rooms all over the world, everyone is discussing supplements and the line between which chemical combination is legal and which is not seems fuzzy to most of us who are not pros.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The London Olympics tested athletes for 240 banned substances. That number will probably rise by the time Rio happens as the cat and mouse game between the athletes and the sports bodies continues. Fewer athletes tested positive for doping in the Beijing Olympics than at Athens. But that was regarded more as proof of sophisticated drugs rather than less doping. The “win at all costs" approach to sports that USADA head Travis Tygart lamented is now par for the course.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Lance Armstrong will probably still live strong -- or at least strong enough. For most of us what has changed is the meaning of cheating. The accusation of performance enhancement drugs doesn’t really sound like cheating anymore. But [affairs] with porn stars… is indisputably cheating.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://newamericamedia.org/2012/08/its-just-drugs-not-sex-why-armstrong-still-lives-strong.php">New America Media</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em><strong>Photos: New America Media; Gideon (Flickr - Creative Commons).</strong></em></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/lance-armstrong" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Lance Armstrong</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tour-france" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">tour the france</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/drugs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">drugs</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/dope" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">dope</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/usada" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">usada</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/cancer" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">cancer</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/live-strong" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">live strong</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tiger-woods-sex-scandal" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">tiger woods sex scandal</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/endorsements" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">endorsements</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/olympics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Olympics</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/athletes" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">athletes</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/marion-jones" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">marion jones</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Sandip Roy</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">New America Media</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:20:48 +0000 tara 1461 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/1497-why-lance-armstrong-will-remain-champion-those-who-live-strong#comments Meth Addiction, Drug-Related Crimes Plague an Indian Reservation https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/1200-meth-addiction-drug-related-crimes-plague-indian-reservation <div class="field field-name-field-cat field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/news-features" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">News &amp; Features</a></div></div></div><span class="submitted-by">Submitted by tara on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 21:55</span><div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="og:image rdfs:seeAlso" resource="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/6mediumhoopa.jpg?itok=sPxqNM-4"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/6mediumhoopa.jpg?itok=sPxqNM-4" width="480" height="325" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p> </p> <p>From <a href="http://newamericamedia.org/news/">New America Media</a> and <a href="http://www.tworiverstribune.com/2012/05/fixin-up-hoopa-a-communitys-struggle-with-addiction-part-1/">Two Rivers Tribune</a>:</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>HOOPA, Calif. -- He snorted his first line of dope when he was 15. He remembers the day. He ran with the older boys, and they tried to look out for him by refusing to rail him up. They told him, “You better not.” But it wasn’t long before his “bros” caved to his curiosity. Nor was it long before he stopped snorting, and started shooting his poison. He spent the next 21 years incarcerated or on the run, battling an addiction that swept his youth away like powder in the wind.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Today, Michael is 38 years old with long black hair, salted gray. With 11 children and another on the way, he surrounds himself with “support people” and drenches himself in spirituality to stay healthy. With tattoos peaking above his coat collar, he spoke calmly about his journey to recovery and his drive to be a good father. Looking back, he says he wasted most of his life on drugs. “I’ve never been off of parole,” he said. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face. He has been drug-free for 23 months.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Michael caught the meth wave like thousands of people throughout the U.S. during the 1980s. He, like so many youth on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, stood little chance against the drug. By 1990, <a href="http://www.projectknow.com/research/methamphetamine/">methamphetamine</a> — a.k.a. speed, crank, crystal, dope — was considered epidemic in the rural West, and Hoopa was no exception. A 2006 Bureau of Indian Affairs report claims American Indians have higher rates of methamphetamine abuse than any other ethnic group — nearly three times higher than Caucasians.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/mediumhooplaarticle.jpg" style="height:383px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Meth abuse rates have reached 30 percent on some rural Indian reservations, and in some Indian communities as many as 65 percent of all documented cases involving child neglect and placement of children in foster care can be traced back to parental involvement with methamphetamine. California Indian Legal Services estimates that in nearly every case they oversee that involves a child being removed from their home, one or both of the parents is using meth. Often in those cases, the baby itself was born with prenatal exposure to the drug.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Indian Health Service is not tracking meth use, making reliable data hard to come by and pushing solutions even further out of reach. After conducting a study of meth use in three Indian communities, the Indian Law and Policy Institute concluded that no systematic examination of the impact of meth on emergency services, social services, law enforcement, and schools has taken place on an individual tribal basis, much less on a pan-tribal level.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Hoopa tribe is no exception — meth data specific to the Hoopa Valley doesn’t exist. The scope of the problem can only be pieced together anecdotally, and only understood truly by those who live here. If you ask, they’d tell you that meth use in the valley today is rampant, but it wasn’t always that way.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/mediumhooplarticle.jpg" style="height:335px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>History Matters</strong></p> <p>Hoopa is a 90,000-acre Indian reservation in northern California, nestled in a majestic forested valley carved over thousands of years by the Trinity River. Although the Hoopa people’s ancestral territory stretched far beyond the present-day reservation boundary, the people feel fortunate to have never been removed from their homeland, a phenomenon experienced by most tribes during the 19th and 20th centuries. The town itself is occupied by about 3,000 residents, 95 percent of whom self-identify as American Indian according to the 2010 Census.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Hoopa Reservation and the Yurok Reservation share a border to the west and the Karuk Tribe’s ancestral territory borders to the east. It’s a triangle of tribes in a geographical region that was difficult for settlers to navigate because of the rugged terrain. The area was colonized much later than most of the U.S., when the Gold Rush brought wagon trails. The trails since evolved into a highway and dirt roads, making way for the export of timber, which was the economic mainstay of the region for decades.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>As the timber industry began to collapse in the 1980s and 1990s, a movement to legalize marijuana for medical use took hold in California. The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 led to the emergence of an already established underground marijuana-based economy in Humboldt County. Fertilizer trucks have taken the place of logging trucks on the highway, the same entry point that is used to traffic a litany of drugs onto the reservation. The Bureau of Indian Affairs estimates that more than 70 percent of meth in the U.S. is imported, primarily from Mexico. Local law enforcement believes the majority of the meth is not produced in Hoopa, but brought there from the nearby City of Eureka and points beyond.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>The broken economy in Hoopa and resulting poverty – the annual household income on the reservation hovers around 13 thousand dollars, and most families receive tribal government assistance – would seem adequate to explain the high rates of substance abuse. But those in the community with a sense of history say it’s much more complicated.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/3mediumhoopaarticle.jpg" style="height:333px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Melodie George-Moore teaches English and Native-American literature at Hoopa High School. She’s also a leader of traditional Hoopa ceremonies. She believes Hoopa’s drug problem has its roots in historical trauma.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>“We are a conquered people,” George-Moore said. “Unlike any other group in the U.S. we are unique in that respect. That didn’t happen to any other group in this country and it continues to happen to this day… In order to understand the pressures people are living under, you have to understand how it looks from a Native perspective to be a conquered people in the U.S.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Multiple generations are grieving the loss of a cherished way of life, a way of life that lasted for thousands of years prior to settlers finding their way to Hoopa. Lessons about events leading to those traumas, said George-Moore, are neither taught in history classes nor spoken about in tribal society at large.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>“There’s this elephant in the room and we can’t talk about it. So it just explodes into all these areas of our lives because you can’t keep all that negativity contained,” she said.</p> <p> </p> <p>George-Moore believes education can ultimately be a powerful tool for Indian people to recover from generations of abuse and self-medicating. And while there is hope for the future in Hoopa — dozens of high school students from the valley are graduating and on their way to college – the overall snapshot of academic achievement in the community looks grim. Truancy rates in Hoopa schools are above 60 percent, compared to a countywide truancy rate of 18 percent. And, twice as many students need special education services in Hoopa schools versus Humboldt County schools.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Studies suggest that those numbers are directly correlated to the drug problem. The Tribal Law and Policy Institute reported that children with addicted parents are more likely to suffer from malnutrition and absenteeism from school. And in April, the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> published an article titled “Formula for Failure,” in which Alameda County Superior Court judge Gloria Rhynes confided that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation monitors third-grade truancy rates to determine how many prison beds it will need in the future. Numerous studies have shown that American Indians are incarcerated at a higher rate than any other ethnic group.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Tribal Policing and Its Challenges</strong></p> <p>“Meth is screwing a lot of people up,” Hoopa Tribal Police Chief Bob Kane said. “It has destroyed a lot of good families here — a lot of good people, men, women and kids.”</p> <p> </p> <p>If anyone has seen the impact of methamphetamine on the community up close, it’s Kane. As he patrolled the Hoopa Valley on a recent ride along, he described a number of drug-related crime scenes that would make most people queasy. On one occasion, said Kane, he walked into a trailer only to find a young woman brutally murdered with a shotgun, an incident that was fueled by drugs. “And there are others, that happen out here on the rez,” he said. “You never forget that stuff.”</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/5mediumhoopa%20%28police%20chief%20bob%20kane%29.jpg" style="height:281px; width:500px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>At least on paper, the Hoopa Valley Tribal Police Department has a full force, with one officer per every 300 residents. Still, local law enforcement struggles to keep up with the meth game, not to mention other drugs flooding the valley – pot, heroin and prescription pills top the list.</p> <p> </p> <p>Kane said it’s literally impossible to patrol the entire reservation because of its size and intricate mountain road system. It could be said that Kane’s police force is not only undermanned, but outgunned. Several marijuana grows located in the forested areas of Hoopa lands have been linked to organized crime.</p> <p> </p> <p>“They’re targeting our area because we’re remote,” Kane said. “We’ve had, in the past couple of years, large marijuana grows. Last year we had one tied to human trafficking.”</p> <p> </p> <p>But knowing about a problem and being able to do something about it are two different things in Indian Country.</p> <p> </p> <p>According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Law Enforcement Services, 90 percent of the tribal police forces they surveyed say they need additional drug investigation training.…</p> <p>In <em>Meth in Indian Country: A Call to Action</em>, Cindy Marchand-Cecil pointed to a law passed by Congress in the 1800s that gave the federal government jurisdiction on Indian reservations for major crimes. It didn’t specify drugs. Court cases, including the landmark 1978 Oliphant Supreme Court case, found tribal police had no criminal jurisdiction over non-American Indians, leaving countless jurisdictional questions for tribal law enforcement officials.</p> <p> </p> <p>The jurisdictional nightmare of tribal, state, and federal law is believed to also be a reason organized crime is targeting Indian reservations – one reason why the Hoopa Tribe is currently undergoing a process to resume more criminal jurisdiction over its territory. And they now have legal recourse to do so.</p> <p> </p> <p>From 1953 to 2010, California was required – due to Public Law 280 -- to assume criminal jurisdiction on all Indian reservations. But in 2010, Congress approved the Tribal Law and Order Act, which opened a window that could allow tribes to request that the U.S. reassume some of that jurisdiction. If successful, the new agreements generated would allow the overlapping of federal, tribal, and state jurisdictions. Tribal leaders hope the process will also bring needed funding to their law enforcement program.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Next Big Thing</strong></p> <p>One small step at a time, one day at a time, the Hoopa community – tribal government, police, health professionals, residents -- is recognizing the urgency to address the meth problem. But in the meantime, law enforcement and healthcare officials have reason to believe that other serious drugs may already be overshadowing meth in Hoopa—prescription pills and opiates like heroin.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. Eva Smith moved to Hoopa in 1997 and is the lead physician at the Hoopa Tribe’s medical center. She has also worked with Indian Health Service for 10 years on addiction medicine.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Obviously there’s a lot of addiction issues here,” she said. “As an addiction medicine provider, it’s sometimes hard for me to say meth is the problem because I honestly don’t think it’s just meth. There’s also an opiate dependence…and overwhelming alcohol issues.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Yet Smith sees enough of the meth epidemic through her practice to know that it presents a critical challenge to the community, one that doesn’t discriminate by age or gender. She reported multiple cases of treating 50-, 60- and even 70-year-old men and women who were actively using meth.</p> <p> </p> <p>The impact, she said, is not always immediate. Heavy use of meth and other drugs can often lead to health complications later in life, sometimes years after users have cleaned up their act. For example, the high rate of Hepatitis C in Hoopa, she said, is directly linked to meth use.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>“People who were using during a different time of their life -- some might even be in leadership roles in the community -- that exposure is now manifesting itself as a very serious disease, because of speed use 30 to 40 years earlier,” she said. “There are young people lining up on dialysis, fetal exposure issues, developmental and behavioral issues… There are days when it’s absolutely overwhelming, some of the realities we see here, the physiological and social realities.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Reality is rough for many. A young mother of four children who continues to struggle with her addiction to meth says the problem isn’t the drug. “The problem is within us,” she said.</p> <p> </p> <p>She went to treatment last year, but left the program because it “wasn’t for her.” As she pointed to her children waiting in a car she said, “Look at these beautiful kids.
