Its not a crutch, its facts. His career was ruined because of drugs. It has been discussed already that someone whos career is ruined by drugs is worse than a guy with injury problems.
Who says Lewis is getting a new heart? The fact is, his heart works! And tragically it decided to stop. And guess what, tragically a car ran into Drazen's and now he's dead too. If you can't give one guy another shot a life, then how do you do the same for another dead person? Heart or not, both were very sad accidents. Fact is, accidents happen, you can't just pretend that they don't and move on while ignoring the facts.
And drug abuse is worse than injuries. But you can't assume that 2 players retire at the same time for seperate reasons, and because one guys career ended because of drugs, rather than an injury, the guy with the injury somehow becomes better in retrospect. That's just ignorant
