The problem is is your deflecting from AOC’s idiotic, race baiting comment, which is the crux of the matter, not your position on athletes and weed.Cuz …….. I have no idea. Can anyone even take a shot at the cobwebs of insanity?
View attachment 508549 AOC says Olympic ban on marijuana is 'instrument' of racism following Black track star's suspension
First off, IOC did not ban this woman from competing, the US Track and Field Association suspended her for the marijuana result. However, had she tested positive for marijuana at the Olympics, she would have been disqualified.
In either case, marijuana is hardly a performance enhancing substance. In fact if somebody wins an athletic competition while stoned, it’s really fucking amazing.
The greater likelihood is that she smoked pot a day or two before being tested. THC stays in your system for days. You can test positive for up to three days after you’ve smoked.
While don’t agree that this whole thing is racist, it is stupid. Incredibly stupid. The woman set a new world record and they have tossed her off the team.
First off, AOC said the IOC banned the woman, read the fricken tweet. The only thing(s) stupid are AOC for her comment and you for attempting to defend what is clearly against the rules.
What is your problem? I did read the tweet. The tweet says the IOC banned her and that’s incorrect. Which I pointed out.
The IOC will strip you of your medals if you test positive for marijuana which is ridiculous. Marijuana isn’t a performance enhancing drug.
There have been cases of figure skaters taking the wrong cough medicine and getting suspended.
By all means come down on athletes using performance enhancing drugs, but let’s not be stupid here.
