Ross ain't here, man

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said the party is "sorry to lose Ross" as a candidate.

Rebagliati announced in October 2009 he would seek to run as a Liberal candidate in the B.C. Interior riding. The decision withdraw was made for "personal and family reasons," Rebagliati said in a release.

"The time has come for me to focus on new life challenges."
Geez, Ross... like what... maybe being a responsible adult human being?
He was unable to collect his mail, go shopping, or pay his taxes. "I was completely unable to function. I was in shock, actually, coming back."

He has had more ups and downs in the years since: lawsuits and money problems.
Yeah, Michael... I can see why you'd be mourning the loss of such a star candidate.
