...skiing has a pro tour, although it's more like a minor-league, ski-bum tour. To go from the luxury of the national team--where coaches, technicians and handlers cater to an athlete's every need--to the penury of the pro tour--which features X Games-inspired short-course, head-to-head races--was a shock, one Schlopy thought he needed.

Delay is the name of the game. The lawyers bicker back and forth over minor points, eating up the entire session. And then it's back to the hospital for another long evening. "When there are people here, I must try and appear to be happy," he says through a cloud of Lucky Strike smoke. "But, of course, I'm depressed." After his lawyers have left...
