I personally think if you had a few joints you could not possibly run out onto an oval and play for two hours ... just my own personal experience ... so not performance enhancing at all ... in my view
Why might marijuana and cannabinoids meet this criteria?
- Performance-enhancement: A common perception of marijuana is that its use impairs physical activity, including exercise performance. While the effects of marijuana can decrease hand-eye coordination and distort spatial perception, there are other effects that can be performance enhancing for some athletes and sport disciplines. Cannabis can cause muscle relaxation and reduce pain during post-workout recovery. It can also decrease anxiety and tension, resulting in better sport performance under pressure. In addition, cannabis can increase focus and risk-taking behaviors, allowing athletes to forget bad falls or previous trauma in sport, and push themselves past those fears in competition.
As stated here, while it's not always performance enhancing it can have that effect for some athletes therefore it's banned.

So Willie Rioli has been allegedly found to have had cannabis in his system in the final against Essendon. Apparently it is a banned in-competition substance.
How on earth is cannabis in any way a performance enhancing substance? Genuinely curious - are there certain components that can aid an athlete?
Nope. Though it could explain why he was so relaxed and never hurried on the field.

Best game of footy I've ever played was after crushing a few cones.

Federally its a different issue, and that goes for their foreign policy regarding it too.Eh - 11 states allow legal use of pot and 33 have medicinal

Well, YOU may have thought so, the coach may not have agreed
Detectable for up to 28 days so really debatable whether any was “in system”So Willie Rioli has been allegedly found to have had cannabis in his system in the final against Essendon. Apparently it is a banned in-competition substance.

I am generally driven by logic. I can understand why some recreational drugs could give you a short-term edge on a game day. I am just baffled about why cannabis might on there.
Agree completely that if it's a banned substance he's an idiot and deserves the suspension coming his way. Just trying to figure out the 'why' of it all.
The ‘28 days’ really depends on a lot of circumstances.Detectable for up to 28 days so really debatable whether any was “in system”
