Dealing with an alcohol problem

Neil Manthorp writes in his SuperCricket column that South Africa coach Mickey Arthur has taken a gamble by rubbishing fitness trainer Adrian le Roux's report that states the "use of alcohol is a problem in the national team"

But what if it [Arthur's comments] made some of le Roux's many, many friends really angry and they decided to defend his honour and integrity by providing some evidence of what le Roux observed at close quarters for four years?

Manthorp also feels that denial of the problem is fine if "it is used to buy a little time and privacy to address the issue" but not if "it is used to brush the issue under the carpet."
