 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | Can you think of any sport where being stoned is of benefit? 2008 Gold Medalist in 105 Andrei Aramnau got popped for both drink driving and smoking weed in run upto 2012. While the former was a bad thing to do, what have either got to do with cheating through doping? Can being stoned ever be considered "cheating" ? Just had browse through sanction lists, theres loads in various sports including weightlifting. But why? | ||
