Apparently he crossed the line with his drug comment, and the USFSA plan to speak to him about it:

After winning the short program Thursday, he was careful to point out that the accessory around his neck was a scarf, not a boa.

Maybe there's a special reason for the twinkle in Ryan's eyes. JUST KIDDING! Drugs aren't funny, but I come from the era when they were--or at least we thought they were. For a while anyway, you sure can party hardy with them and I'd be a hippocrite if I said I regretted using the ones I did.blackrose050 said:Johnny was talking about himself (cognac and cigarettes) and Ryan Bradley (vodka and coke).

Out of one side of America's mouth comes a very sacred right to free speech. And then out of the other side of the mouth, comes organizations, bosses, masses, etc. that all get busy supressing it. It's either everyone's right (including possible consequences) or it's not.

Well duh, everybody knows that Johnny only wears boas for formal occasions.

Sheggy said:Your entire post is crazy talk. You decry the attack on Johnny's "right to free speech" and then say he must also suffer "possible consequences." The talking to by USFSA officials is the "possible consequences." Just because you can say whatever you think doesn't mean you should. Johnny should choose his words more carefully and concern himself with the impression he leaves instead of trying to always by the one that is "out there."
Bottom line - Johnny Weir needs to grow up already.
