Lewis a sporting underacheiver

In the Sunday Telegraph, Andrew Alderson charts the downfall of former England allrounder Chris Lewis, who was recently sentenced to 13 years in prison after being found guilty of smuggling cocaine into the country.

[Lewis' friends and associates] characterised him as engaging, yet infuriating: a fading sporting star who, after one disappointment too many, appears to have embarked on a flawed gamble to try to maintain his wealthy lifestyle by putting more than 7lb of the liquid Class A drug inside tins of fruit juice placed in luggage on a flight from St Lucia to Gatwick.
