Skiing & olympics

I was talking to my dad about that half pipe skiing should be at the olympics and he told me about a guy a couple of years ago that won a gold medal and they took a drug test and only beacause he took some weed they didn't give him his medal. So I was thinking, if skiing goes to the olympics some skiers could have some problem( tanner and some other guys) because as we all know some of the skiers are not the cleanest...              So what do you think??                                                                     (sorry for my english)

weed doesn't stay in your system for very long so if they didn't smoke for like two weeks before competition then they'd come up clean.

That happened to a snowboarder named Ross....something a while back, he had his medal taken away because he had weed in his system. I'm pretty sure he ended up getting the medal back though, because weed isn't a performance enhancing drug.

If the olympic commitee actually wakes up to the fact that pipe skiing would help them and not hurt them, and then they added it... (which is the right thing to do, considering the level of skill, air, and excitement levels with pipe skiing compered to snowboarding) Freeride pipe skiers i'd bet would give up buds for a few months to have the chance to compete in front of the world. Just a hunch.

You'd think they would stop knowing they would be testing for that

Weed stays in your system for at least 6 weeks.

But it doesn't matter anyway its not on the banned substances list.

thats if you smoke several times a day, Ross Rebagilati failed a post race hair test, appealed and won because he claimed he was at a gathering with a high concentration of pot smoke. Now he has a park named after him in whistler where everyone blazes.

No thats smoking weed once. If you smoke it several times a day it will be detectable for months after you stop. Its the THC. Trust me i'm doing medicine.

i had a drug test for a downhill MTB race and they didn't catch any THC in my system, it had only been two weeks (that's how long my family doc said it would take to go away). i'm just speaking from personal experience.

ross rebgliattiniisayaori or whatever.

he got his medal back. and it doesnt matter what drug youre on, if it is illegal or banned which weed is, youre toast.

im sure the guys got super clean for the event, so if they were tested they would be fine.
