So people should not have to follow rules they think are dumb? I agree it shouldn't be a rule, but she knew the rules and she broke one.

True, but I think its clear she's not a "cheater" like some here have said (not saying you did). She's at worst just a bad decision maker--not an uncommon trait for someone in her age group.

cheat:
to act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination.



Simply breaking a rule =/= cheating.

She has to have used a faked birth certificate. She looks like she is in her 30s.

Yeah any performance enhancing weed has in any sport would be minimal but it's only prohibited in competition so she could have lit up during the offseason with no problems even if she got tested.

Her interview after she won the trials was so funny. The reporter had a look on his face that he didn't understand a word coming out of her mouth.

If it was weed...that's ridiculous. The only performance enhancing weed does is make you play the guitar better.

It’s a dumb rule but if you’ve been training for something for years that you only get one shot at you’re a huge fricking idiot for not following it.

I mean it’s one thing to get popped for a PED trying to win, this is just pure stupidity

Drug tests for these things are getting more and more sophisticated; kinda dumb to bank on beating them.

Glad she posted that she’s still human, though?…

It’s crazy because she is coached by one of the dirtiest coaches in track who is the coach of one of the direst runners of all time.

I always assumed she was dirty but to pass a test for PEDs and fail for weed makes me think more of her

How do you smoke weed knowing you’ll be tested for it for the Olympics?

I have zero sympathy here.

Kind of like josh Gordon’s situation. Stop smoking weed, you know you’re gonna pop positive and get kicked out of the league.

Suspending people for weed in today’s world is so insanely dumb.

They raised the limit for a positive test in 2013 to 150 nanograms. You literally would of had to smoke 24 hrs before the race to break 150 while knowing they’re gonna test you. Of course they shouldn’t be testing but there’s not many easier tests to pass.

A user who smokes weed regularly three or four times a week can be detectable for 5-7 days.


So she smoked a joint a week or a few days before trials.

Big deal.

Look, obviously she shouldn’t have smoked weed. I’m not saying that was a good decision by her.

But it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t test for it in the first place.

The Olympics has always been dumb about weed (see: Phelps, Michael)
