Thanks for the explanation.
1. Reducing muscle and joint inflammation.
2. Going hand-in-hand with its anti-inflammatory properties, cannabis has also been found to alleviate pain.
3. Another area of medical application for cannabis is in treating muscle spasms.
4. THC induces sleep for better resting and improve mental acuity.
Those all sound like great reasons to fire one up this weekend!
As if weed would help her run faster. The stunningly stupid are in charge.
Oooh, thanks. MUCH worse than a CDL drug test if I remember right (I really ought to look it up).
“Those all sound like great reasons to fire one up this weekend!”
You’re right about one thing. You are talking about recreational use. And so was she which makes it a violation of the rules.
My daughter uses medical MJ and she doesn’t smoke it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved THC-based medications, dronabinol (Marinol®) and nabilone (Cesamet®), prescribed in pill form for the treatment of nausea in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy and to stimulate appetite in patients with wasting syndrome due to AIDS. My daughter uses a doctor prescribed cream for pain and has had good results for it. But she is not running in the Olympics and agreed to not use illegal drugs based upon the OIC determination.
Worse has been done, natural hormonal doping. Prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russians and their satellite states, including East Germany, were notorious for doping-related Olympic controversies—typically the use and abuse of performance-enhancing drugs and steroids. But this one is far from that.
I’m sorry about bringing this into the thread but it has been proven. Girls as young as 14 and women athletes were intentionally impregnated by coaches or trainers with the intent of terminating those pregnancies for a physical gain. Since at least 1956, Western media outlets have leveled accusations against Soviet bloc countries that female Olympic athletes sometimes use a terminated pregnancy to reap hormonal and physiological benefits, according to a 1994 report in UK’s Sunday Times.
In a story that garnered widespread Western coverage, the German television station RTL aired what they presented as an interview with a Soviet gymnast named Olga Kovalenko, a gold medal winner at the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico. Kovalenko, who competed under her maiden name, Karaseva, claimed that the practice of pregnancy hormonal doping was widespread among champion Soviet athletes during the 1970s. She said girls as young as 14 were ordered to have sex with their coaches if they had no steady boyfriend. In her own case, she added, “I was told that if I refused I would not have been sent to the Games.” Again, her games were in 1968. And we aren’t sure if they are still using this tact as there is no way to prove it’s legalities unless morale standards are applied. And those standards are questionable in our government also.
But this is an example just how far athletes have been going for success and money. There are more and they make smoking recreational use of MJ seem tame as you can see. But rules are rules and she decided not to follow them. She should be released from the team altogether as her arrogance and disregard for rules, even ones she said she would follow, is an embarrassment to this country and a lowering of the standards of integrity we should expect from our international athletes.

“Thanks for the explanation.”
Welcome. Used to be a physical trainer for the military and I’ve seen some of the results.
