Apparently she was on GMA this morning. Did anyone catch the clip? What was her excuse?

I’ll admit those 2 groups give each other a run for their money

USTF tweeted something about supporting her mental health in the future. I would bet she blamed mental health for the need to use MJ.

Posted on the MSB, she smoked weed after finding out her biological mother passed away before her race. She accepted full responsibility and said she knew she wasn't supposed to do it, so she was accepting the suspension.

Let her run. Ridiculous. It’s weed. It didn’t make her faster

It’ll be only a matter of time before weed is taken off the banned substance list.

I can’t imagine the frickin Jamaicans are passing with flying colors.

I think so too. The responses to the USATF statement are pissed about THC being a banned substance

it baffles me how we ban weed for elite athletes (or anyone really)

they push their bodies to the limits and we ban a natural substance to help with pain?

it makes zero sense whatsoever

I agree but you know the fricking rules going in. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and you can’t wait? By the way I’m fricking impressed that she can smoke weed and be that fast. Must be like the matrix when she runs.

Her mom died… how many of us could handle that completely sober?

I actually noticed that a while back, there is nobody more sensitive and defensive than smokers/consumers discussing anything about weed. I’m pro legalization but nobody gets worked up faster than somebody who enjoys marijuana and thinks they detect anything negative regarding cannabis coming out of someone’s mouth, even if it is a joke.

They are so cringeworthy. I smoke everyday and it should be legal but these people that make it their entire personalities are complete losers

I saw a brief clip. Not sure if it was the whole thing, but she was mostly just taking responsibility and apologized for letting people down.

But she has said that she used it to cope with the recent death of her mother.

Apparently they banned it because it can mask testosterone use some way or another. I’m not sure if this is accurate just passing on what I’ve heard.

That quote she gave makes me respect the hell out of her. I can’t imagine how much of a wreck I’d be if I lost a parent while I was in college. I don’t blame her at all.

The olympics won’t nullify the test, but they should.
