REBAGLIATI: DECRIMINALIZE POT
TORONTO -- Pot has been part of Ross Rebagliati's public image since
winning his Olympic gold medal in snowboarding and he didn't shy away from
the issue yesterday when asked if marijuana should be decriminalized.
"Absolutely," said Rebagliati.
Rebagliati was initially stripped of his snowboarding gold in 1998 in
Nagano, Japan, after testing positive for marijuana, but the medal was
reinstated on appeal.
