Adrien Broner post on Instagram website
Beleaguered boxer,
Adrien Broner, showed up to a court hearing late on July 20,
2016 and was promptly jailed for being late. The former four
time world champion boxer, who lost his title for failing to
make weight in his last fight, in on trial on assault and
robbery charges. Broner, who is struggling with substance
abuse problems, was tardy and informed the judge he has been
feeling sick, as someone put something in his drink the
night before.
Judge Ruehlman showed
Broner no sympathy on his claim of illness stating, "You
don't look well. You look like you have a hangover." Broner
stated to the judge, "I have been sick all morning. When I
finally got well I called my lawyer." The judge responded,
"It's not a good excuse. He looks like he's drunk or
hungover. To coin a little boxing phrase - you're not
ducking this one." Broner was
hit with a contempt of
court charge and sentenced to 30 days in jail.

The Judiciary Report has
been stating Broner needs to go to rehab. However, until he
sees the urgency of getting help for his substance abuse
issues he, his health, his family and career will continue
to suffer. Broner has boxing talent and could achieve a lot
more in boxing, but that's not going to happen if he is
constantly behind bars. Broner has
received title shots and other big fights that most boxers
dream of, but keeps taking it for granted. There are so many
boxers who wish they had the opportunities he does, but he
is throwing them away and in the prime of his career.
Broner needs to take a
good look at the people in his circle. A number of them are
still involved in crime and violence. They sometimes
influence him to do the wrong thing. I know Broner doesn't
like being corrected, but what's bad about telling him he
has a lot of potential, a lovely family and a chance to do
big things in his career, if he would just gets help for his
addictions and stay out of trouble.
