    my gawd at this thread, a lot of foot eating going in here. I get the weed effects people differently, but how to be people not know what marijuana does in general?



    Bummer for Sha'Carri, it's abummer man.

    Is he/she really competing in the Olympics??? She really doesn't look that strong in the pic. I haven't watched woman's weightlifting in years but the last time I saw it, most of the competitors looked like this. Not a pretty sight.

    Agreed.

    That was a disaster of in interview. The interviewer realized she's not being articulate or clear, and literally walked her through her answers.

    I can see why the race card might be coming next.

    She gives legitimate marijuana users, for reasons she's trying, albeit ignorantly, to express for her own use, a bad look.

    I supported her, for the most part (bad rule, but don't break the rules) until her lying ass revealed her cards in that interview.

    She's just regretful she got caught, and dragging her dead mother into it was classless too.

    The interviewer was patronizing too. If the athlete had been white, it seems like that would have gone differently.

    What was the point of the interview anyways? I mean I could see if she was going to appeal it but she admitted she was toking. So she went on national TV to try to get people to feel sorry for her or what?

    Pretty much. The hope is if enough people are on her side, they'll cave and let her race anyway.

    Weed is actually good for you, if you're not high all day and everyday

    When you start popping Xanax and Oxys like candy like some posters on SBR, that's when you become a junkie

    Rudy, you really seem to think weed is the only way people can get to sleep and it's that big of an advantage lol. Are these athletes allowed prescriptions like benzo or ambien? If so, those are 50x more helpful and putting you into a sleep coma to recover. What about CBD? That's the sleep aid that most ppl i know take. I agree that she is a moron and should be rightfully facked for breaking known rules. Weed is all fine and dandy in most of the US, but you can go to jail for life in other countries. This is an international event. Be dumber lady....

    She smoked and cost herself millions in endorsements that she would have received after these olympics. Then her statement about being young and that she will have plenty of time to succeed in the olympics has been uttered by thousands to never be heard from again. Just a stupid move. Stop smoking for 3 months and get yourself setup to coast through the rest of your life financially

    You can't break rules in the Olympics. Even though smoking pot will not improve your performance it can be used as a masking agent to hide other PEDs and this is why it is banned.

    She knew the rules, it’s no different than getting a random test at your job. I have no issues with weed but she should have been smart enough to at least quit smoking till after the games

    The country is full of dumb asses, so she'll resonate with a lot of people. Who the fukk smokes weed right before the Olympic trials and a few weeks before the Olympics. Then blames their dead mother??? Can't fix stupid.
    A petition is already spreading online. Hey break the rules, it's okay, smoke em if you got em.


    Sign the petition: Let Sha'Carri run!
    Dear MoveOn member,
    Sha’Carri Richardson is one of the fastest athletes in the world—and would have a real chance of winning the 100-meter sprint in the Summer Olympics this month for the United States.
    However, due to an outdated and arbitrarily enforced rule around marijuana, she's now going to be kept from competing on the world stage.
    In no world is marijuana a performance-enhancing drug for runners, and in more places in the United States and around the world, marijuana use is legal. The United States Anti-Doping Agency should drop their penalty and allow Richardson to compete!
    Reinstate Sha'Carri Richardson and allow this world-class athlete to compete in the 100-meter dash! And revisit the outdated rules around marijuana and athletes.
    Sign the petition

    Sha’Carri Richardson Credits Girlfriend for Picking out Her Olympic Qualifying-Hair

    The 21-year-old athlete is private about her relationship but makes no secret about being gay.


    Next we'll hear that her girlfriend forced her to smoke.

    Her team needs to start calling around and get some endorsements off this. She could be a spokeswoman for some marijuana brand.

    and probably would never race again or at least she'll be tested every other week. She can make a lot more money in endorsements if she's contrite and asks for forgiveness. A lot of companies love a comeback story versus a pothead. Who can you think of that made a ton of money promoting weed??

    I also noticed that they made it a point that it was her "biological mother" so I assume that she was adopted or wasn't real close to her?

    Ok, so she found out that her biological mother died from a reporter.

    Apparently she had to real connection to her mother.

    no most track and field athletes are not marketable unless you won numerous gold medals, its a very tiny sport and space

    This is not tennis which is an hugely popular sport everywhere

    I noticed that too. Her grandmother was at the trials but no signs of any mother. EVEN SO, that's a fukked up excuse to go get high. My mom just died so I hit the crack pipe. WTF?

    I agree, she totally fukked up with this poor timing. BUT, she could probably profit a little bit by being a comeback story. People love to forgive and love a feel good story. Go to rehab, volunteer at the local food bank, and wear your gay pride, etc., and she will find sponsors.

    Smoking weed gives you no competitive advantage

    Amazing how these places don't care if you pop prescribed opiods, but you can't smoke weed.

    I can't believe the NFL doesn't even allow players to smoke weed, considering the beating they take. It's almost like they want these guys to get hooked on pills.

    yes she can make a few bucks, most marketable track and field athlete men or woman is Sydney McLaughlin she is close to prime time endorsements but needs the gold 400 hurdles

    Remember, it's just the THC they are testing for.

    CBD is ok and it doesn't sound like they are testing for other cannbinoids. Athletes can still use some marijuana products for rest and recovery.
