For those that don’t know him, is the greatest boxing coach of all time.  He has accomplished this incredible feat with slurred speech and tremors.  Freddie Roach has Parkinson’s.  On the special about him, in a conversation with another Parkinson’s patient Roach says:

“That’s why shakes so much.  He doesn’t take the medication.”

The side effects of the medication are worse than the symptoms of the disease.

In a special on Muhammad Ali’s daughter, a brilliant fighter in her own right, she says:

Ali is perfectly coherent and easy to talk to in the morning before he takes his meds.  After he takes his meds you can’t talk to him.
