Thanks to court documents related to what appears to be pretty nasty divorce proceedings between Ross Rebagliati, the first Olympic Snowboard Gold Medal winner, and his wife Alexandra Rebagliati, we are all privy to bales of Rebagliati weed smoking allegations, according to a story on HQ Kelowna (and Canada.com). Here’s one:
The three year old son of Olympic gold medalist Ross Rebagliati tests positive for “Cannabinoids” by way of a hair analysis test conducted by MotherRisk laboratories.
And if that’s not enough, even his old girlfriend is jumping in on the action:
Rebagliati’s ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Friesen, states in her sworn affidavit “through our relationship Ross could not get out of bed without smoking weed to function and he could not sleep at night unless he smoked an entire joint. Ross told me he smoked a joint at his friend Lumpy’s wake just weeks before the Olympics and that he had a bag of weed in his room in Nagano and smoked a joint only hours after his win. As soon as word came out that he had tested positive, he stashed his weed in the hotel and hid his medal in the ceiling tiles.”
Doesn’t sound so much like the whole Olympic weed scandal was much of a conspiracy after all.

The majority of Olympians are doped to the gills on performance enhancing drugs and we are worrying whether or not he smoked weed? Seriously what is wrong with us? If he drank a case of beer after he won the medal that is ok, but since he smoked some joints he should be called out???
the olympics; i respect the athletes and their hard work.
the olympic committees are disjointed and completely out of touch with those that they clame to represent. weed is weed, it’s not going to make you operate more quickly, if anything-it’s not an enhancer like that of blood doping or steroids. was rebagliati an idiot, if he did smoke after winning-yes. does anyone really give a shit, no.
What kid growing up in Whistler, or the BC Interior, does not have “cannabinoids” in their hair! Seriously.
This is just someone’s personal business that certainly does not have to be dragged out in the media.
