Marijuana Faces Olympic Ban

Marijuana is not a performance-inducing drug, according to the International Olympic Committee, but theyre going to ban it anyway. Stung by being forced to restore the gold medal to Canadian snowboarder Ross Rebagliati, who had been disqualified at Nagano after testing positive for the substance, the IOC today announced plans to tighten up its testing regulations to include the social drug. Prince Alexandre de Merode of the IOC medical commission said the danger with marijuana was that it can give you the impression that you are indestructible. No word on the IOCs attitude toward footwear commercials that tell you the same thing.
