WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY DISCRIMINATION

Dear Sheaf,

I am writing in response to the article Marijuana In Sport from Nov. 
13, 2008. Drug testing athletes for cannabis (marijuana) has little 
to do with enhanced sporting ability and more to do with the World 
Anti-Doping Agency doing its part in towing government's discredited 
cannabis prohibition line. WADA's policy amounts to discrimination 
since an athlete may drink alcohol after an event but not use 
cannabis which is safer than beer, wine or whiskey. Furthermore, the 
policy may be leading to increased alcoholism.

Truthfully,

Stan White
