Ex-WSB rider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Gobert) seems to have gone from hero to zero...

"The oldest of the Gobert racing brothers, Anthony's career has been beset with substance abuse issues. After getting dismissed from the 1997 500cc Grand Prix championship for marijuana use, Go-Show headed to the AMA Superbike series and was reprimanded with a three-race suspension during the 1998 AMA Superbike season for the same reason. Gobert made news again last February when it came to light that heroin use was a factor in some legal troubles in Australia, where the racer had been caught speeding and driving with a suspended license. The positive news at the time was that Gobert had already completed rehab and been clean for months by the time the legal proceedings had caught up with him and made public."

Most recently he has been nicking money and handbags from old folks.

You really can't make this stuff up.

Shame cos the guy certainly knew how to ride a bike well at the beginning of his career!

here's the article (http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23703499-3102,00.html)about him being in court. Really sad.
