Gobert has long struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, including losing his ride with the Suzuki factory 500cc Grand Prix team after failing a drug test in 1997.

There has been quite a bit about Anthony Gobert in the press over recent days. First, there was a video on YouTube where he talked about his addiction struggles with drugs and alcohol and then there have been numerous reports that he is in palliative care in Oz suffering from multiple organ failure. Sadly, it seems that he is very seriously ill, with probably not long left.

He fell further into drug abuse after his then-girlfriend, Suni Dixon, died in 2004. Two years later he admitted to being a heroin addict while he stood trial for driving with an expired license.
