Speaking on Belgian TV show Sporza on Saturday night, the 2005 world champion admitted that he had a problem.

"The night before the drug test, I went out," he said. "I stayed for a while and I drank. At some stage I must have taken something. Then I had a blackout.

"I think I have a problem. After spending three to four months working, when I go out I probably over-step the mark and I become someone else. For 364 days a year, it's perfect. I try to be an exemplary citizen. But the day that I drink too much, something that I don't do often, I change. I will now seek help."
But couldn't that be him going through the motions he knows he has to do? Give the people what they want, tell them what they want to hear.
