Is Bode a good role model and should he be allowed to participate in World Cup Events?

Last year, Bode Miller disappointed many fans, sponsers and fellow racers by making inapropriate comments on a 60 Minutes interview. Miller along with a manager feel that 60 Minutes only released the parts where he made comments about drinking then racing. Bode says that these comments were made in a light hearted moment where as the press release portrayed that his only concern was going out and partying the night before a race. Bode Miller is a good role model because his concern with racing is mainly to have fun and do the best he can. His only focus is not just coming home with the maximum amount of medals or any medals for that matter. I feel that waht he does to celebrate after a race is his decision. I also think that as long as he is on the mountain by the start time and is not harming anyone else, that he should make his own decisions. When compared to many other athletes and role models he has not done anything nearly as bad. I feel a good role model shows what the sport is really about- racing and having fun, which Miller does achieve.
