Should weed be legal? Maybe, but the fact is it's not, and it's not going to be any time soon, so athletes who break the law should be sanctioned. Kids look up to and mimic the best athletes in their favorite sport. I certainly wouldn't want my kids smoking dope because some bigshot sprinter says it's okay.
Can I assume you are OK with banning athletes for all other actions that are illegal?
