Not that it would help you, but I am curious if it on the list of banned substances?
According to here, only during competition.
Yeah It is not like weed is an athletic enhancing drug but they still test for it. Twice for the snowborders 
pat said only during competition but I have no doubt like any other coach in the world they would be under lock and key and not allowed to drink and party.
I am sure LSD is on the list too even though a guy threw a no hitter while on it.
Do you not know what happens in the Olympic village at night?
Similar, by all accounts, to the last days of Rome.
It’s one massive party after your particular event is finished.
Certainly, I know my dad sampled much Russian Vodka during the 1980 Moscow games (he coxed the men’s pair for Ireland). Mind you, he also smoked 40 a day at that time to make his race weight, and coxes generally just have to be light and able to shout and steer, rather than physically fit in any way.
Archery and shooting competitors used to drink alcohol in the belief it calmed their nerves, allowing for a better aim.
So, are archers and shooters tested for tranquilizers like benzodiazepines ?
In days of yore when I dated an athletic director, we watched the some guy after winning some track and field Olympic event yelling, I dunno, “248! 248!” He thought I was a moron that it wasn’t obvious to me that that was the guy’s room number. Evidently track people are notoriously drunk sex hounds. (Well, it’s a huge dorm full of healthy hyped up college kids.)
Yes, and beta blockers and such.
One Kim Jong-su was caught with the latter in 2008 and lost his medals.
There was a scandal at the Vancouver Olympics, several of the snowboarders tested negative for pot.
ftw
I remember reading about a study that proved this correct. In it, they tested target shooters and the highest cumulative scores occurred after the participants had one shot of booze. After two, their scores plummeted.
I searched for it but I can’t find it online.
I’m pretty sure there is something to the use of alcohol in shooting events, since if it hurt performance (or didn’t affect it), they wouldn’t have banned it.
I’d watch a drunkard’s olympics.
The Swedish pentathlon team was disqualified at the Mexico City Olympics because one of them had drunk too much beer before the shooting event.
Seems like drunk pentathlon would be an AWESOME spectator sport. Drunk swimming! Drunk horseback riding! Drunk falling off horses!
Drunk bobsled
Drunk luge.
Americans would medal in Drunk Biathlon.
Dude. You miss the point. Drunk pentathlon has five drunk sports in one, all of which are pretty damned hilarious and dangerous to do drunk. Beautiful! We could get the horses drunk too!
