Personally i think it's a bit unfair. Cannabis is definitely not a performance enhancing drug and it only says he had a trace in his blood and akready some people have concluded he was high whilst competing.
It's not clear how the trace got in his system. Did he smoke it, eat it in another food unknowingly, or some other way of ingesting it. Yes it doesn't do the image of the sport much good and for that he should be punished but not sure it's entirely fair to take a world championship off him for winning it fair and square.
There again it is on the band substance list so he knew the consequences. Doesn't detract from his achievement tho and it certainly doesn't make me sick.
