That's my second favorite event after diving. I guess they need to build up the quads to get the lift they need. Many of the women divers come from a gymnastics background or trampoline experience. While I'm on the topic of olympics what do you think about Sha'Carri Richardson failing her drug test for pot? How stupid is that? I was glad in a way. She thinks she's "it". Orange hair, 6 inch finger nails, fake eyelashes up to her eyebrows. Maybe she'll find some humility after this.

You defnitely need good quads, hamstrings, glutes and a solid core for the diving event.

It's not very clever to pick up a ban due to cannabis... normally elite athletes get caught out using designer PEDs which sometimes show up in certain tests. To lose an opportunity to compete in the Olympics, the premier event for a track athlete like her, is ludicrous. She'll never make a mistake like that again!

Now their talking about changing the rules because cannabis is not a muscle enhancing drug. The problem with that is what other drugs will be "OK" to use?

I duuno about cannabis not being an enhancer. I don't think it is going to make your muscles
bigger, but afaik it has a painkiller effect. If you are under the effect of pain mitigation I
suppose you can abuse your body a bit further. You'd pay the price lñater ofc.

That said, can you imagine athletes showing up to the competition, completely stoned?

Because she admitted to her mistake, and because the relay event was beyond
her 30 day suspension, I was hoping they would choose her for that event.
Maybe they had 4 other runners who they felt were better qualified, but I didn't see a reason to ban her entirely since her suspension should have
been up by then.

I could agree with that. I never understood why some athletes would get banned for using party drugs such as ecstacy or cocaine when they don't provide a sporting advantage. I didn't like seeing the boxer Tyson Fury lose his heavyweight belts due to testing positive for cocaine because a drug like that has absolutely nothing to do with PEDs.

Any drug that doesn't provide a sporting advantage should be "OK" to use... however just because an athlete wouldn't fall foul of the sporting rules/regulations it doesn't mean they wouldn't fall foul of the law. I don't agree with the "two bites of the cherry" thing where you could get banned and disgraced from a sport AND in trouble with the law.

I agree, if there are better candidates than her it would be fair enough... but they shouldn't discard her because of her recent admitted drug taking. It's not like she got caught doing a Lance Armstrong or anything remotely like that. She's only 21 and most young people end up dabbling in recrational drugs around that time in their lives. She should have known better but I would be disappointed if her absence was merely down to the marijuana.

IMHO, that is what should probably make it a no-no.

Not me. Rules are rules. That is why people get arrested. They break rules.
We do and should expect more from those who represent our country. Like George Foreman in '68 or whatever year that was.

She agreed/signed up for that and then she broke her promise/committment and that is not worthy of representing us or being a role model to our youth.

That's one of the biggest problems in our country today: we don't apply laws and rules consistently.
