no one said the fight was lost. there is no fight for 2010. there has been FIS world championship halfpipe for a few years now. this really is nothing new

even if we were in the olympics, none of the pro's we know today would be there due to drug testing

What are you talking about? Read the article. I think it states 2010 is still possible if everyone gets on this and doesnt take the side of " there is no fight for 2010" screw it, approach.

Are you kidding? You think Shawn White could pass a drug test? There's ways of getting around it.

i dont think shaun white is a pot head. not like t.hall.
danny kass, though...

i think the key here is that these snowboarders got clean for the olympics.
if our boys want in, they can get in.

you're an idiot. pros are willing to not puff for a month or two in order to compete in the olympics. besides not every pro skier does drugs. i GUARANTEE if pipe was in the olympics in 2010 tanner would be there to represent.

LISTEN UP KIDS: IN THE OLYPICS ONLY PEROFRMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS ARE BANNED. This means you can't take steroids (because they can make you stronger), but pot is okay (because it will not help you in a competition).

You sure about that? You must not remember that whole fiasco with Ross Powers a few years back.

Was he the guy who won the gold in snowboarding a while back? If so, then I do remember. Remember how he was allowed to keep his medel, and how the people who took it away were reprimanded by the Olympic Committee because pot is not on the list of prohibited substances.

Ross Reglati or something like that was the canadian snowboarder who had his medal taken and then returned. Is that who youre thinking of as Ross Powers?

I would rather see Candide boosting out of the Breck pipe than see FIS mangle a competition and judging in front of the whole world.

ok first youre a fucking faggot, acknowledging that people blaze doesnt make you cool, second the olympic committee doesnt test for thc in the bloodstream. so thats not a factor now is it. and even then i think that pro skiers arent retarded enough to not be able to pass a drug test. its not like they are particularly effective.

you realize that you can get it out of your system in 30 days, none the less take detox and pass a drug test that day right. Look at the mens snowboard team

You shouldn't say he's a pussy. You may think his style is ugly, but it certainly isn't pussy. He has had a lot more terrible crashes than most racers because he goes all out and never reigns it in for safety.

YOU GUYS ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION: POT IS NOT A PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE IN THE OLYMPICS. Only steroid type performance enhancing drugs are prohibited. You can shoot heroin and compete if you really want to.

Keeps it more underground, I've heard that a few times and I think its retarted, I dont think you have to worry about everyone jumping off the snowboard band wagon for a least a few more years. Why try and stop our sport from growing in popularity? The positives are a lot better than the negatives.
