I TOTALLY get that. But my question is if it is an Olympic thing, or a US Olympic thing. She admitted to being guilty. Good for her on that. I’m just curious about who is responsible for that rule. Also, I heard there may be some flexibility, but is that true? 

 

Looks like it was the US following the international rules...

Michael Phelps got busted for it too. But his was after an Olympics, iirc.

 

It’s the timing of this that is the especially sad / stupid part on her end. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 

I heard say that she might be eligible for a 4x relay race that happens just after the month suspension is over.

I’d be more apt to punish people who cheat in more performance enhancing ways. This is sad and stupid at the same time. 

Any product with cannabinoids is banned by the world anti-doping agency 

 

If tested positive after the race 

 

So basically in competition.. outside of competition, if you could piss clean in competition, it's okay
