A few things:
- Weed is banned by the World Antidoping Association so it's not (just) a U.S. thing.
- Whether we agree or not, according to federal law, weed is still illegal in all 50 states.
While the penalty may seem draconian, it is the rule/law, she knew it (or was at least responsible for knowing it), and broke the rule. I'm not uncompassionate for her situation, but those are the facts.
The way I understood it, her ban will be 30 days if she proves it was not performance enhancing but may be extended to up to 4 years if she fails to (I have not researched that...better ways to spend my time).
To her credit, she did own it and apologize rather than making up a ridiculous story about a tainted burrito or a vanishing twin. Sincerely, major props for that.
