Having a trainer with the record that O'Neill has will only further that perception. Having the spotlight in your shining moment being taken by a guy that's suspect in many eyes and a downright cheater in others, a guy that just got suspended, is not good I don't think. It would be like having Ron Artest, Latrell Sprewell, and Rasheed Wallace standing up to accept the gold medal at the Olympics for the basketball team.
