So she just needed to lay off the herb for 24 hours before the test???

Why would you smoke weed or do any drugs during the weeks/months leading up to the Olympics?!

Damn that’s a shame. Ole girl was really something to behold, but folks gotta stay the course till the end. We can argue about whether the rule is stupid or not but going in the rules are the rules (and we all knew them).

I had a cousin-in-law that got denied a visa to live in the US because he failed a drug test.

Sometimes you just gotta take the conservative approach until you’re over the hump.

I think they can detect your thc levels even if you smoked months ago,,,,, please correct me weed head coli brehs

I think it would depend on how often you smoke/the amount. If you smoke once in a blue moon and only take a few hits, it should be out of your system in a few days or weeks. If you're a heavy smoker and stop, it will be in your system a lot longer. Then again I haven't smoked in over a decade and I don't know what kind of weed that's out there nowadays.

fukk outta here those other nikkas be roided up but marijuana is a problem?

Follow the fukking rules!

Weave and nails ≠ trashy. Her personality would make her trashy. I don’t know nothing about her personality. Chill out with this incel shyt that y’all got going on with this girl

So I see incel is the new cuck or c00n on here. If you gonna toss out a word at least know the context. No weave and nails don’t equal trashy. Her weave and nails do tho. Have a nice day

 

[richaveli83]

Why is this an issue though? Bet you half of the athletes got that in their system. Why do i feel shes some sort of agent put there for a reason? She does too much. Something seems off about this.

Just peeped her interview on the Today show and she showed accountability for her mistake. Salute to the young sister great interview she'll be back.

 

[Wildhundreds]

Y'all nikkas love making excuses

Everybody knows that weed can legitimately affect your performance on the court/field and the theory that weed has no negative effects on daily activity is just pothead shyt.

Whatever reason she was smoking it for doesn't give her a pass but we'll see what happens.

Facts.. They're losing sight on reality if they believe otherwise..

 

[Supa]

The NBA players should stand behind her and refuse to compete unless she’s allowed to run all her races

we have to stick together

They gonna do that for every athlete that tests positive or just her?

I'm not sticking my neck out for a dummy. She knew the rules. It's even worse because it's the Olympics. You train for this and only have a short time to compete. You can't make that mistake.

 

[get these nets]

Upset me to hear.
People only follow track here when a superstar athlete is in the mix, and she had the talent and flair to be that.

Said many times here that drug addiction is a real thing, that ALSO applies to marijuana use. There's just less of a social stigma to being a weed smoker now.

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

This chick ratchet as hell

 

[EARFQUAKE]

She didn't give any excuses and said she chose to do it despite the rules. It just wasn't her time. Having to deal with the stress of her mother's deatg took its toll. I can't blame her.

 

[Luke Cage]

Damn imagine having to put your dream on hold for 4 years of your prime due to a failed weed test.

 

[EARFQUAKE]

There are a lot of racist comments in this thread, btw.
