It has nothing to do with the sport of running fast....it is a banned substance per the World Anti Doping Association. All US and International Olympic athletes are governed by WADA rules. It is not a new addition to the list, and it is irrelevant what you or I think should be on the list, she decided to risk throwing everything away to smoke marijuana. I just do not understand how someone could have the discipline to become elite at an athletic event, but lack the self discipline to avoid a banned substance. Then she sends out a dumbass tweet that says "I am human".
I personally could care less if WADA includes marijuana as a banned substance. They could remove it tomorrow, and I would have no opinion of the action. Still, I do not understand this knee jerk reaction when an athlete gets penalized for marijuana to treat it like it is somehow an abuse of their human rights. Millions of Americans work at companies that will terminate their employment if they test positive for marijuana, and few go to twitter to post their outrage and show support for those people. There are even a lot of companies that ban their employees from using nicotine....and again, no outrage.

It's an antiquated dumb rule but she knew the rules and knowingly broke them. Incredibly short-sighted....oh well. She may get to run on the 4x100 lets hope.

Damn Karsten Warholm takes down the 400M Hurdles world record with a 46.70. Rai ran a 46.83. Going to be a special Olympic finals....

I just watched Warholm's WR and Rai at the US Olympic trials both on YouTube. Warholm went all out for the entire race while Rai didn't turn it on till about halfway through it. The question is can Rai go out a bit faster in the first 200M and maintain that late burst of speed? I think he can...
Watch Samba win it all. He has the talent, and has run under 47.
