Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

The first environment I was ever confronted with drugs wasn't in high school, or hanging out at the mall, it was in figure skating. The federation can kid themselves all they want, but drugs are a very real thing. I may joke about them, which perhaps I should keep a lid on, but just because I'm talking about them doesn't mean everyone else in the sport isn't. They just choose to be safe, and fake in an interview.
