Confronting a Gambling Addiction with Gab Stone
In this episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser are joined by sports agent Gab Stone. Gab was one of the most successful sports agents in the UK, managing multiple Gold Medal winners at the London 2012 Olympics including Louis Smith and Nicola Adams. However, 5 years later in 2017, Gab was sentenced to 18 months in prison, admitting fraud after losing over £40,000 of Olympic Gold Medalist, Greg Rutherford's money due to a crippling gambling addiction.
This is the first time that Gab has spoken publicly about his story, and details how he hid his addiction from family, friends and colleagues, how he initially succeeded in overcoming his addiction only to be coaxed back into it, and how he kept healthy habits in place to ensure he continued his recovery through and beyond prison.
