Japanese Teen Snowboarders Face Suspension After Using Weed

By

It's a disappointment for two Japanese snowboarder teenagers to be suspended and cannot compete with their beloved sport because of marijuana use. On Wednesday, the Ski Association of Japan banned them after discovering the use of marijuana on a December tour in the U.S.

The two teenagers were not named since they are only minors. One of them admitted that he tried smoking marijuana at a Colorado party where the said illegal plant is legal for recreational purposes provided you are 21years old. The other teenager denied of doing so, as reported by abc News.

In addition to their punishment, their names were removed from the roll of Japanese Olympic Committee elite athletes, making their participation in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics unsure.
