and that we see Damien Oliver again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
More importantly, he has not become irretrievably lost in life's wilderness, either.
It emerged yesterday that Oliver's existence - a popular,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], high-earning, mega-achieving champion sportsman with a young family along with a back-story so inspirational it absolutely was made into a movie - was unravelling in multiple strands of misery when he bet $10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 on the horse he was riding against 2 yrs ago.
This breach of the integrity which racing relies has cost him dearly in respect and reputation as well as the official penalty - an eight-month disqualification plus two months of suspension,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He is fortunate the damage - personally and professionally - has been restricted to that.
As harrowing as his crisis must have been,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he has come out the other side relatively intact.
And by next year's spring carnival he will be back in line in every sense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Fundamental essentials silver linings to a cloud so dark it could easily have swallowed him up - and never even his most trenchant critics may wish to see that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Many will say he got off lightly, especially because he was allowed to earn tens of thousands of dollars as the matter awaited the stewards' full attention and will be back just in time to resume the chase following the biggest bucks.
But, like they say, you have to walk miles in a man's shoes - and his were hurting when he read an argument to the inquiry, repeatedly pausing to control his emotions, eyes filling with tears.
It absolutely was the worst duration of his life, his wife and kids moving out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], himself seeking refuge in alcohol enough where he needed counselling and psychiatric treatment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his confidence shot and - pertinently - bills from another legal matter piling up.
None of this constitutes an excuse but he is not even close to the first one to crack under that kind of pressure. Happily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said his family were together again and that he was no longer binge drinking.
The stewards cut him some slack on several grounds, including his co-operation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], guilty pleas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "forthright" evidence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], remorse, his positive contribution over 25 years and the fact he'd never experienced this sort of trouble before.
Crucially,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they accepted he had not tried to put the slows by himself horse.
Oliver apologised with a written statement, asking people to not assume his "misdeed and lack of judgment" reflected on jockeys generally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can be a confident call given several others may be within the gun.
The stewards alluded to that by saying, "it should be noted inquiries are ongoing" - so racing's pain is far from over.
Despite speculation he would retire, Oliver said: "I look forward to continuing my career. I know I'll have to work hard to restore people's trust but if because of the opportunity I believe I have a lot to offer and to hand back to the industry."
The stewards have remaining him using the opportunity to do this while banishing him for long enough to guarantee the message isn't lost on others - therefore the penalty is fair enough.
