are actually legal to purchase and use for every day people but are considered some sort of performance enhancer for athletes and/or are negotiated during collective bargaining as a "banned substance." Now, I don't think pot is a performance enhancer but if it is a banned substance than whether or not it is illegal is irrelevant; if it is a banned substance and someone tests positive for it, they should face discipline.
Note: I do not know if pot is a banned substance or if there is a penalty associated for smoking pot at any of the professional or NCAA levels.
