Turin, Italy - A spokesperson for the United States Olympic Men’s Snowboarding Team confirmed today that almost every single member of the US snowboarding team regularly smokes weed.
While this admission did not appear to be breaking news to many of the viewers of the Olympic snowboard competition, it marked the first time in Olympic history that an entire team has openly admitted to smoking weed.
Known for their youth and free spirit, with a combined average age of just over 21 years of age, the US Snowboarders are a tight-knit team and report that they have been partying together for a long time.
Since, marijuana is not widely considered to be a performance enhancing drug, the Olympic governing body has not banned the smoking of dope by Olympic athletes. And, while many of the world's top athletes are routinely tested for performance enhancing drugs, specifically steroids, widespread pot use has never been an issue.
The US Spokesperson was quick to point out that the US Snowboard Team still took home gold and silver metals in all of the snowboarding events so the team is confident that their regular weed consumption is not a problem.
