Ross Rebagliati, the snowboarder who won olympic gold for Canada while baked is claiming that a character on a TV show about Whistler is based on him:

Rebagliati says the TV character is a blond, blue-eyed Olympic snowboarding gold medallist from Whistler who is shown driving drunk and womanizing. —CBC

May it’s just because I find his monotonous voice and vacant stare annoying, but I don’t see the resemblance. Why would Rebagliati be confused with an alcoholic, when we all know he smokes marijauna? Plus, I won’t even begin to make a reference to Lance Bass in regards to Rebagliati’s likelihood of womanizing.

Perhaps the entire scenario is just another clever ploy by Roots to sell olympic sweaters?
