        Irrelevant to the IOC.

        While I agree it's ridiculous to ban someone from the Olympics for marijuana usage, painting it as a race issue is really not helpful. It lessens the impact of a stance against actual race issues when the default is this.

        Also I think politicians should stay out of this. That is the problem with the games now. Too many outside people with agendas trying to make decisions. The IOC has been doing this for years and we never heard a peep from US politicians until now

        I just don't understand why she imbibed when I assume she knew she would be tested. That's self sabotage.

        I’m loving this advocacy, however, I’m wondering if you’d consider using Cannabis instead given the racial origins of Marijuana.

        Why are you making THIS racial? White people use too. Rules are rules. Are they archaic rules? Yes. Should they be changed? Yes. But today it's still a rule. White Olympians have faced controversy in this too (Phelps).
