Mena deserves it. There is no excuse for not taking care of business.

The truth is that Elzey has done very well with Mena and Mena knows it. Elzey also was responsibile for Bejarano coming from nowhere to where he is today. There is also a story behind the story that wont be made public so keep that in mind.

Agreed Chuck but I just think there is a proper way to handle things like this and in the media is not it. I dont doubt there is a story behind the story but he is a 22 yr old kid that needs to grow up and looks as though he needs some guidance with his success, I just dont thin k airing dirty laundry like an addiction in the media is the proper angle here.

Chuck is spot on...
I would guess his career is in serious trouble unless he gets some help asap with the drinking.

I do know the story behind the story and told Steve about it after the WV Derby. I didn't make the story public in the paper and hopefully the original story won't be made public because what happened to Mena originally is embarassing enough. Mena has a long list of indiscretions but this one takes the cake. I had warned people prior to meet that Mena was the #1 choice as first jock to get in trouble at meet and was worried that he could bring down his party buddy Alan Garcia with him. But luckily Garcia has been behaving and has been seen in town with at least one responsible person and not with Mena. This was a very expensive lesson for Mena, now lets see if he finally learned it or not. BTW, his agent Steve Elzey takes no crap. He dumped Bejarano after CD banned him and other jocks during the Dr. G fiasco at CD with Shane Sellers and others a few years ago.

Mena has been through enough already. If the original story was ever made public, there would be no hole deep enough for Mena to crawl into to get away from the humiliation and the comments about his intelligence. Lets just hope he has finally learned his lesson.

Bejarano took that real hard, too.

I'd trade Bejarano for Mena, wouldn't you?

I don't know about Freddy, but I did see doing kissy face with some (seemed to be decent looking) blonde in the backyard of the jocks room in Saratoga.
