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?

Since when has being relaxed and sleepy with an increased appetite ever helped anyone trying to recover from intense physical activity?

Unless I'm wrong...
There are two distinct criteria for doping which are effects on health and/or sports performance

One of the reasons testing was originally introduced was to protect the athletes health after the death in the TDF of Tommy Simpson who had been found to have taken amphetamines and alcohol.

Cannabis can definitely be performance enhancing, more so for those whose aerobic capacity isnt a criteria for success.

WADA covers 2 of 3 criteria when they ban something
Unsafe for athletes
Performance enhancing
Against the ethos of sport

I would enjoy watching stoned archery / shooting.

some supposed natural supplements can cause you to fail a test. I just stick to fish oils and protein now. Maybe will use creatine sometimes.
