After winning the gold, Ross was found to have Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in his circulatory system following a blood test and he was automatically disqualified. This decision was eventually overturned, largely on the basis that marijuana was not on the list of banned substances, and Rebagliati was given back the medal. The next day he appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and became an instant icon to many. Since that day, Ross has become a cultural phenomenon in the marijuana world and is an outspoken advocate of medical cannabis.
