What Would Arnie Do After An Opening 65? Probably Not Lobby For Cannibis!
/
That was Matt Every (65), unlikely Bobby Jones Award winner in this or any lifetime, gunning for his third Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by Mastercard win. And using his platform as first round leader to make a case for scrubbing marijuana off the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned substance list.
Evin Priest with this in his report from Bay Hill where Every, after serving a 12-week suspension for prescribed marijuana use, lobbied the few writers who hadn’t moved their game to Rocco’s for a margarita.
"I think it would be cool if we were proactive about it and made some changes," he said.
"Anxiety is a real thing and the way I treat it is the healthiest way possible for my body.
A case could be made for yoga.
"It bothers me that (cannabis) is even an issue (and) on the list of banned substances," he said on Thursday.
"You could fail for heroin and marijuana and the penalty is the same. If anyone wants to make the argument that that is performance enhancing, they have never done it before."
These guys are good!
