Yikes, whoever said that it did?! I mean, I know that some of the youngsters are under the false impression that weed is some kind of miraculous wonder drug, but are there really athletes out there who think they can run faster or kick a ball straighter or bike longer by being stoned? Seriously?
It is not the athletes as much as the officials.
Marijuana is banned by WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) in the Olympics.
The NFL also treats it as a banned substance, grouping it with performance enhancing drugs. Many other sports organizations treat it similarly, though some are starting to come around on it.

I teach at a school with a lot of “at-risk” youth. The veneration of drug culture (especially pot) is over-the-top. I’ve heard all sorts of ridiculous claims by students in an attempt to justify marijuana use. One can tell that, in an attempt to get it legalized, weed-users resorted to all sorts of outrageous claims about the “benefits” of smoking it.
