Delpopolo blames pot-laced food for test that led to Olympic ejection
Local judoka had vied for Olympic gold
Staff and wire reports
Updated 9:42 a.m., Monday, August 6, 2012

Burnt Hills grad Nick Delpopolo was disqualified from the Olympics after testing positive for marijuana. The Amsterdam man had already competed in judo competition.

The International Olympic Committee expelled the judo player from the games after testing positive for cannabis on July 30.

Delpopolo attributed his positive test on "consumption of food that I did not realize had been baked with marijuana, before I left for the Olympic Games.'

The positive test comes after Depopolo finished seventh in London his quest for Olympic gold. He won two matches, including upsetting the ninth-ranked judoka in his class (Delpopolo is ranked 12th), took the top-ranked judoka into and through overtime tied (losing a unanimous decision) and came up two wins shy of a bronze medal.

Does marijuana give a competative advantage?  Maybe in a hotdog eating contest.

stupid burn-out, blames it on brownies that 'he didn't know'


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

LOL...............just once I'd like to hear one of these failed drug test takers  say "Oh hell yeah I was getting high, I just forgot it lingers in my system for awhile." or "Damn right I was using steroids, I've got a family to support, and if you think I'm going to lose my job to some clown who can't carry my jock strap you're out of your freakin' mind!!"..............just once.......... I'd have more respect for that person than the "I didn't know." or "I didn't take anything illegal" people...................btw a hair follicle test will detect pot use 6 months from the time of use..............'case anyone's anticipating a drug test in the near future.........

worked with a person who was Jamaican...they brought in this delicious chocolate cake to share with everyone.....it was some
kind of staff party....all ate and had second pieces of cake....

but,,,,guess what....yup....it was a 'pot' luck-rum cake.....they claim they didn't know it was illegal here to cook and serve...

so...YES...drug testing is a waste of time....a waste of $$$$ and certainly strips society of the community...

I remember folks used to be able to cook for the school functions...now it must be a labeled mass-produced pink
safety slime.....WHAT A BIG F'EN THANKS

BRRRRRRIIIIILLLLIANT!!!!!!


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

The problem with testing for pot, is that it stays in your system for over a month, so when you're tested at work, they aren't really testing to see if you're getting high on the job, they're testing to see what you did last weekend.

Besides, pot could hardly be considered "performance enhancing", like speed, or steroids, in fact it's quite the opposite.

Doesn't matter.

The IOC says that weed is a banned substance.

Don't like it?...Don't compete.

I believe he had no knowledge.

It was probably Chinese saboteurs sent to get Americans disqualified.

"But Officer Herpaderp, I thought she was 18!"

But Officer Herpaderp, That I.D. looked real!"

See what I did there...

Let's be real frank here. This isn't the 70's and you aren't buying a ½oz. of weed for $30 anymore to dump into batter to make cookies or brownies or whatever....I'm sure some of our members would agree with this.

Then there is this....

Why would you want to ruin yourself when all this super epic fun is to be had...http://espn.go.com/olympics/su.....illage-espn-magazine

Calling total bullshit on this one

Chicoms are known cheaters, but to sabatoge another would REALLY put a blackmark on them that they don't want.

I find it very very hard to believe that ANY of these competitors aren't fully and completely schooled on drugs w-a-y before they even come close to the Olympics!! Just don't add up......imo
