Recently, the Asian Games International Doping Testing Agency (ITA) announced a news that shocked the sports world: Filipino naturalized player Justin Brownlee failed to pass the doping test. This incident has aroused widespread attention and controversy, especially in the Philippines, and some media and the public have strong dissatisfaction and doubts about this matter.
According to reports, Brownlee was found to have taken marijuana. Philippine media believe that marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug and is therefore not listed as a banned drug in the NBA. Against this backdrop, the Philippine media and parts of the public have called for gold medals for Brownlee. They argued that Brownlee did not use performance-enhancing drugs and therefore should not be stripped of the gold medal.
However, this view is not shared by everyone. In fact, cannabis is still considered an illegal drug in many countries. Although cannabis has been legalized in some countries, such as some parts of the United States, it is still considered a banned drug at international sporting events. This is because marijuana alters an athlete's nervous system, which can affect the fairness of the game.
With regard to the controversy in the Philippine media and public, we must understand that this is only one aspect of the incident. Although Brownlee may not be using performance-enhancing drugs, he still has to face the fact that he uses illegal drugs. This will not only have an impact on Brownlee's personal career, but may also have a negative impact on the overall image of the Philippine men's basketball team.
This incident reminds us that the true essence of sportsmanship lies in justice, fairness and respect for rules. In all cases, athletes should abide by the rules of international doping testing bodies and stay away from illegal drugs. This is because athletes are not only responsible for their own health, but also for the fair play of other athletes.
Overall, Brownlee's failure to pass a doping test at the Asian Games has sparked widespread discussion and controversy. This is a challenge not only for Brownlee personally, but also for the Filipino sports community! They also believe that the Asian Games gold medal should not be stripped away.
