Dunno how they can say being stoned is performance enhancing. You'd just wanna sit n the bench and eat pizza watching the game.
Ralphy said tonight it is considered a muscle relaxant.

THis below is direct from teh WADA website and what he quoted

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

In footy it would be more of a negative gain than the positives. Maybe in a sport like shooting it would relax you and improve your concentration but footy is a fast game these days.

Might get howled down here but Leon Cameron is second in line to Dimma as a very likeable coach.
Never speaks shiit, never goes down afl jargon street and gives genuine responses to questions.
Compared to Sooky Scott he has all my respect. Good bloke.

And he was a very good player for the Tigers also, after we snatched him from the Doggies.
