   Sub-70 IQ drug addict news.   
      
   Brittney Griner, WNBA star and former gold medal-winning Olympian, has   
   reportedly been detained in Russia.   
      
   What are the details?   
   According to a Saturday report from The New York Times, Russian Federal   
   Customs Service reportedly detained Griner in late February “after finding   
   vape cartridges that contained hashish oil” inside her luggage at an   
   airport near Moscow.   
      
   A statement from the customs service, obtained by CNN, read, “‘As a U.S.   
   citizen was passing through the green channel at Sheremetyevo Airport upon   
   arriving from New York, a working dog from the Sheremetyevo Customs canine   
   department detected the possible presence of narcotic substances in the   
   accompanying luggage.'”   
      
   “The customs inspection of the hand luggage being carried by the US   
   citizen confirmed the presence of vapes with specifically smelling liquid,   
   and an expert determined that the liquid was cannabis oil (hash oil),   
   which is a narcotic substance,'” the statement added.   
      
   Griner is still reportedly detained at the time of this reporting.   
      
   What else is there to know about this?   
   Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, did not dispute the reports of   
   Griner’s purported detention.   
      
   “We are aware of the situation with Brittney Griner in Russia and are in   
   close contact with her, her legal representation in Russia, her family,   
   her teams, and the WNBA and NBA,” she told the Times for the Saturday   
   report. “As this is an ongoing legal matter, we are not able to comment   
   further on the specifics of her case but can confirm that as we work to   
   get her home, her mental and physical health remain our primary concern.”   
      
   It is not known at the time of this reporting why Griner was in the war-   
   torn region.   
      
   On Saturday, the U.S. State Department released an updated advisory urging   
   U.S. citizens to leave Russia immediately due to the ongoing escalation of   
   war in neighboring Ukraine, and cited a “potential for harassment against   
   U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials.”   
      
   Former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael A. McFaul, told the outlet that   
   the news should come as a concern to all Americans in the country.   
      
   “I obviously don’t know the circumstances of her detention, but Griner’s   
   arrest should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans in Russia,” McFaul   
   said. “Get out. Shut down your businesses now.”   
      
   The WNBA in a statement added that Griner “has the W.N.B.A.’s full support   
   and our main priority is her swift and safe return to the United States.”
