the problem to me is that they are just drug addicted...and I hate drug dealers and drug addicted people...to me, they should all be sentenced to death, as they are a disaster for the entire society, even more than themselves and their family...

As someone who’s advocated and attempted to vote down the death penalty (for all crimes) here in California, I’m going to have to say I disagree with this.

wait...

cannabis (and especially for sprinters, who need a flashy start) to me is not doping...and I wouldn't call "cheaters" those who get caught for that...

actually, taking cannabis befopre a sprint event makes you more damage than benefit...

to me, it's a really different question, that goes well beyond sport and PEDs, it's a real cancer of modern society...

So everyone who smokes cannabis should be killed? What the hell

I mean seriously. I’m more likely to try that than alcohol (especially since that’s legal in CA)

He used an illegal substance knowingly, there is no way that this guy should've been allowed to compete during the next 2 years. Also please stop looking for excuses whenever an italian athlete gets caught, i am sure even you don't have the time for that. Clearly people who know more about this than you thought that this can enhance and athletes' performance, so who are you to say otherwise?

I agree about the second part, people who use drugs (alcohol, cannabis, cigarettes and so on), clearly have no self-control and therefore are with no use for society.

Which shows how twisted laws can be in different countries. "Hey kid, no beer allowed, even though it's almost like juice at 4%, but you can smoke whatever you want."

A German who has often claimed that Germans are superior athletes ( who can only lose because they are the only honest hardworking people in a world full of dopers) also claims that whole categories of people are of no use for society

no, they don't say that at all...

 

it's just a banned substance (and as a recreational drug -horrible definition- it's considered a minor infraction, with shorter period of ban -rules say from 3 to 6 months max...he got away with 3, the usual standard for that kind of fault), which doeasn't necessarily mean that it's also a PED (and cannabis abuse's consequences are well known...it makes you way less reactive, so in a sprint race it's not an advantage at all)...

 

and as I said, I'm against any drug and I clearly wrote that I don't want him to be part of our team, so I'm definitely not looking for excuses for Italian people doing extremely stupid things...

No offence, but after reading the last two pages of this thread I come to the conclusion that lots of you guys lost the touch to reality, humanity and whatsoever.

You haven't been reading this forum that much, if you come to this conclusion only now...these pages are a masterpiece of humanity if compared to some of the hundreds/thousands of posts that are often deleted by mods.
