That is bad news. I hoped he was getting it back together. He was getting decent rides, and making the most of them. I find it hard to believe he wasn't using also. That stuff gets a vise grip on people, and takes over. Sucks. N.Y.S. is a bad place to get caught with that much toot with intent to sell. Not that there's a good place. If Gomez can come back there's hope for anyone. Valenzuela still riding in LA.?

With the mounts he was getting, wouldnt you think he could make more money riding than pitching hooch? I've never heard of a drug dealer who wasnt using. Thats like baking choc chip cookies without eating the batter.
