BONN, Germany (CP) - Canadian Paralympic skier Kimberly Joines has been banned from competition for nine months after testing positive for marijuana.
The Edmonton native tested positive at a World Cup event in Aspen, Colo., in January.
Joines, 26, had illegal levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, the International Paralympic Committee said Thursday.
She was given a nine-month ban because it was her first doping offence.
Joines, who broke her back in a snowboarding accident in 2000, won a bronze medal in the sit-ski super-G at the 2006 Turin Paralympics.
