статья старая, но от этого не менее хорошая. про чемпиона мира по боксу, у которог все непросто в жизни.
I'll tell you one thing, big man," Scott Harrison says in a voice as quiet as it is gruff, "it's nae the fighting that bothers me. The fighting's the easy part. It's the living that's the killer."
"There's nae doubt about it," Harrison agrees in an unyielding Lanarkshire burr which conveys the severity of his own conviction. "The really rough stuff always happens outside the ring."
Last month Harrison was finally bailed from the Alhaurin De La Torre maximum security prison in Malaga, where he and his uncle had been jailed for 5½ weeks while charges were laid against them for allegedly trying to steal a car and assaulting a police officer.
Earlier this year, after his previous six-month ban from pubs and clubs in East Kilbride had expired, Harrison was arrested following an "incident" in Glasgow which culminated in him being charged with a breach of the peace, refusing to leave licensed premises, resisting arrest and attacking a policeman. The following month, on May 14, Harrison was arrested again for fighting outside a nightclub near Loch Lomond. Two days later he withdrew from his title defence against Gairy St Clair and on May 17 checked himself into the Priory Hospital in Glasgow - eventually admitting his problems with alcohol and depression.
Like so many hard men when they hit bottom, Harrison is touchingly vulnerable and disarming company. "This year has been an absolute roller coaster," he says, "and I wouldnae wish it on anybody. But to be honest I cannae remember half of it! I can remember the start of it and the last few months in and out of jail - but the worst bits in the middle of the year have gone. I cannae remember much beyond the fact that I was running wild."
закончилось, кстати, все плохо.

In December 2006, Harrison was stripped of his WBO title after failing to make the required weight (9st 7lb) ahead of the fight with Cook. Harrison failed to turn up for the weigh-in. His father issued a statement stating that Harrison had been advised on medical grounds not to take on the fight. As well as losing his title, Harrison also lost his licence to box.
On 30 January 2007, Scott Harrison was arrested in Sauchiehall St, Glasgow, for possession of valium.
On 5 February, he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court and denied charges of police assault, resisting arrest, breach of the peace and refusing to leave a pub.
Subsequently, he was again arrested in Spain in May following a fight in a brothel. On this occasion, the Spanish authorities retained his passport, and Harrison has since been unable to leave the country. As a result of this, he was unable to be present at his court case in Glasgow, which was postponed to October 2007.
In July 2007, Scott Harrison was declared bankrupt, after losing his fight with HM Revenue & Customs over disputed unpaid taxes.
