Olympian From Jersey Expelled for Testing Positive for Pot
Nick Delpopolo—a 23-year-old American judo fighter from Jersey—is the first Olympian to be expelled from the London Games for failing an IOC drug test. Delpopolo tested positive for metabolites of cannabis after competing on July 30. Delpopolo, who finished seventh, issued a statement explaining that he inadvertently consumed food that had been baked (get it?) with marijuana before he left for London. [NBC Philadelphia]
