It also looks like a mug shot.

Let's see her toofs - that's usually where meth users are heavily affected.

Didn't read the article. Does it say how many years are between the shots? Because at the age the "before" shots were take at a few years can make a big difference. I agree with others she doesn't look too bad yet but is starting to get the meth skank look.

She's a drug dealer. I didn't read that she used her own product.

And for REAL about meth

Said Bobek..."Skating has slowed down for me. You need to find some inspiration after 25 years of it," she said. "What can I do now?"

Sell meth!

well, you can't expect a parent to throw his/her kid under the bus with a pending trial.

Yup. I know a guy in college who popped a lot of pills (including E) and he has permanent headaches now. As in, they never go away.

Meth is a horrible drug.

That said, it still should not be against the law to hurt yourself.

Once we get "free" government healthcare, that might have to change. Maybe we can legalize hard drugs in such a way that use is a binding agreement to never seek government-funded healthcare again.

She faces 10 years if convicted, and is called a "significant player" in the meth ring. Doesn't look good for her. If she had just bought a little for her own use it would be one thing, but when you're involved in actual distribution that's when you get put away for a long time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Bobek
"In November 1994, Bobek was charged with first degree home invasion after using an access code to enter a friend's garage and home. She allegedly took cash from a purse, only to be foiled when the home owner arrived (at which point she returned the money). She claimed to have been given permission to enter the house and retrieve the cash by another member of the household. Bobek was 17 years old at the time; under Michigan law, anyone 17 or older may be subject to adult criminal laws[1] and is no longer considered a minor for legal purposes.

She pled guilty under Michigan's Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which directs defendants between 17 and 20 years of age to probation and counseling. If they complete their probation, they are excused from a more permanent charge and given a "clean" record, with all records of the prior charge sealed from the public.

On January 19, 1995, Bobek was given "youthful trainee" status, along with two years' probation and a choice between fifty hours of community service and thirty days in jail. Information regarding her case was soon leaked by the media and spread widely through skating circles, as well as in the news media at large. Under the Youthful Trainee Act, cases are to remain confidential; so on February 16, she filed for dismissal of her case (though journalists and legal scholars have argued that Michigan law allows journalists to release information about juvenile criminals if there is "compelling public interest," [2] which could be argued due to her status as a figure skater in world class competition). She was given a closed (private) hearing, where the trial court granted her motion for probation discharge.[3]

On July 6, 2009, Bobek was charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. She was arraigned in Jersey City, New Jersey, on drug charges stemming from a case in New York. Bobek faces up to 10 years in prison if she is convicted. [4]"
seems she's been doing the bad girl thing for a long time.

I've met a fair number of people who were meth freaks who were pretty messed up. So, yeah, she looks more together than all of them.

It can be one hell of a high, but yeah, the downside is so sucky it's not worth it.

Don't most drugs do permanent damage in one way or another?
