"Sometimes, we say it is a normal thing. But it is not, because when you drink beer excessively, it becomes a problem too. If you are an athlete and you drink too much of beer, you will see eventually that the athlete will test positive. Therefore, we have to discourage it. It is not good for us. Everywhere in the world today, this has been a big problem. When you get to villages, you will think that they do not know what drugs is all about, but they are even the worst; you see youths hiding and taking it. Today, it’s seen as normal, but after they finish taking it, they go into crime. This is why it is expedient that everybody must join in disabusing the minds of the athletes and youths from taking drugs."
