NCAA moved the goalposts on that one.

Equivalent here would be if the Olympics said they were deferring to state law on weed and then suspended her for weed.

So unfortunate, such a dumb rule.

They raised the limit for a positive test in 2013 to 150 nanograms. You 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.

Almost any publicity is good publicity. I had no idea who this was

Now she is in the spotlight as an oppressed black lesbian and that is paydirt in 2021

She was in the spotlight before today. She’s more than likely already secured endorsements & not for the reasons you listed.

I originally said it was a dumb decision by her, and I want to walk back that take a little bit.

It wasn’t smart, but when you’re coping with the death of a family member, it makes way more sense to me.

Some of you people are as insufferable as the perpetually oppressed.

She has already accepted her punishment and stated she made a mistake during what would be a difficult time in anybody's life. She has been nothing but apologetic and remorseful

Yeah she should've gotten absolutely shitfaced and wrecked her liver.

The rule is fricking stupid and the fact that we're in 2021 and it's still illegal is an indictment on IOC more than anything.

It's not one or the other, it's both.

The rule can be stupid, and she can also be stupid for breaking the rule. She trained her arse off for 4 years, and then knowing weed is against the rules AND being within 30 days of the games, she goes out and smokes weed? That's just a colossal level of stupid even if the rule is dumb, which it is.

Whether it's stupid or not changes nothing. If you know the rules and choose to break them, you need to live with the consequences. She seems to be doing that as gracefully as possible right now.

Everyone saying she should not be suspended is just plain wrong though. If that's the case let's never suspend anyone for anything. Hell, let's dump all rules.

Oh yeah I don't disagree with her being stupid. I just think it's such a dumb antiquated rule to have in 2021.

Good grief you’re dumb. His point was what she did is detrimental to her success if anything, not giving her an unfair advantage like a PED.

Yep. That’s right. Told you I forgot.
