You can bet that his coach and others will be testing asap to disprove the rumor. Supposedly there is a new 4 year drug rule for the olympics, which would ruin his 2012 bid.
I’m not one of the “marijuana rights” people here in FR and don’t care that much about that issue as it pertains to adults, though I am strongly against kids using the stuff.
But to ruin an ATHLETES career over smoking POT to me is the height of idiocy.
How are the OTHER athletes hurt if one athlete smokes pot? The answer is: they are not.
Pot will only diminish athletic performance. Without making any statement on “legalization” (which I don’t want to get into), I say to the olympic committee: screen for performance-enhancers and forget the rest.
