The Olympics are a joke, a sausage fest from way back. Trainer's abusing kids, PED's until testing time, sicko pedo's and more. Bruce Gender is a product of that environment. I don't watch and don't much care. But that's a man.

Pot may be considered performance enhancing for some sports. Less hand tremors in shooting sports maybe?
Or does it mask other PEDs? I am not sure.
The WADA Code makes sense for Olympic type sports in my opinion, without it PEDs would be rife.
In sports where performance is 100% dependent on physical ability a super strict policy is a must.
I don’t think it’s an appropriate framework for MX/SX though.

treatments legally. The legality of weed is not really relevant. It’s about the sports rules not state laws.
Now, how does this violation get a one month suspension while MXers have seen 2 - 4 years for equally trivial offenses?
Pit Row
Is it a dumb rule? Totally.
But let’s be honest, they didn’t just throw this at her out of thin blue air.
They have rules and terms that she agreed to adhere to, and she violated them.
This is a bit different than an MX athletes testing positive at a barely trace level.
Stewart and Tickle were done dirty. She knew what she was doing and took the risk.
I agree the rule is stupid, but until its changed the athletes have to follow it. No need to feel sorry for them when they get caught.
It is not legal federally in the US. (federal crime to possess)
It is not legal in a majority of countries around the world
But you're blaming WADA?
Weed makes you lethargic and slows your reflexes, who in the world considers those things " Performance Enhancing"?
This is beyond stupid - The fucking Russians are using cutting edge masking agents with their "Female" athletes and WADA can't effectively catch them, but a girl who eats an edible gets nailed?
Low hanging fruit is always easy for these people.
There will be a lot more to hear about this case, regular people are pissed about it.
