Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty
Henry M. Robert

Quote of the Day

17 February, 1998 - 00:00

"Marijuana is quite capable of playing a special role in snow boarding, which involves heightened risk and demands the athlete break through the fear barrier. It artificially removes nervousness and stress while creating a specific syndrome in a person up to his knees in the sea. This is why I am completely confident in considering this doping that puts athletes on an unequal footing."


(Siheyaki Muto, Professor at Tokyo University)

"I won my medal twice, after the competition and after they lifted my disqualification. I have lived through the most horrible and most wonderful moments. Before last April I rarely smoked, but it seems a dose of marijuana could enter my organism in December at one evening. Now I'll have to go around in a mask, because I can't give up my friends.


(Ross Reballiatti, the first snowboarding gold medalist in Olympic history, in his appeal to the Olympic court)
