Tokyo COVympics: July 23 to August 8

Does the IOC consider marijuana (or the active ingredients in it) to be "performance enhancing"?

The NCAA considers caffeine "testable" after NCAA tournament games. Caffeine.

Who knows what's on the IOC naughty list.

While I agree with this, unless it was for medical reasons, jeez, could you not just wait? The Games are less than a month away. Also, as an athlete at that level, did she not know about drug testing? I have no patience for stupid athletes. Could you have at least timed your usage??

**I know nothing about her or her story**

Honest response: what if she lives in a place where it is legal? Normally I am 100% in agreement with what you posted but the US has such a stupid set up for Marijuana, and such bipolar reactions to athletes using it, I am not sure that works anymore. If Michael Phelps had ever failed a test they would have never banned him.

Plus I swear I read that now it can be in your system even longer than 30 days...not sure what the science on that says. Timing use might not work anymore...

Serious question: how do other countries deal with their athletes using Marijuana? Does the IOC itself have a hard and fast rule? I don't care about the Olympics enough to know this stuff.

Ross Rebagliati is somewhere laughing his *** off as he takes a hit from a bong, lol.

Next thing you know, TPTB will be clutching their pearls for the umpteenth time about all the sex that goes down in Olympic Village.

They did. Did you see Jon Oliver?

I dunno but Phelps was high as hell when he was still a competitor...

Unless they’re adding an element to the events where you have to crush a bag of Doritos…who cares if the athletes use weed?

If John Boehner can sell it, why can’t Sha’Carri smoke it? She’s the best at what she does. Let her compete. #LegalizeIt

What is it with these people and their aversion to peaceful protests?

White people can do them...as long as they are straight.
No one else.

Because America's neo-fascist press is trying to make an issue out of it, like they did with Kapernick kneeling.

Any tool to hand will do. Just as Tucker Carlson does, and as Hannity and O'Reilly did: the content does not matter. All that matters is keeping the viewer furious so he will press the feeder bar again and again and again.

In the conservative brain, anger is wired directly to the pleasure center. The right wing press is literally masturbating their audience. Conservative America is that monkey in the famous experiment that wacked itself off to death.

Even more basic than that, they played the anthem at the wrong time, or no?
