TheStar.com | Sports | Olympic hero leaps into more trouble: "Olympic equestrian champion Eric Lamaze may be better behind the reins than behind the wheel.
The Canadian winner of gold and silver in Beijing is facing traffic charges in Florida after a speeding Mercedes crashed onto a property steps away from his $3 million (U.S.) estate in a sumptuous gated community where he flips homes for profit.
Lamaze, who rebounded from a cocaine-laced past to become the world's top-ranked show-jumping rider, was charged with careless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and driving with an expired licence in the wee hours of March 21 in the village of Wellington in West Palm Beach. Police reported $52,000 in damages at the scene, which is in a neighbourhood populated with multi-million-dollar homes and polo fields."

Somehow I don't think Lamaze will elicit much sympathy. When you combine "estate" with "gated community," and throw in "flips homes for profit," the compassion meter drops to about zero.
