Olympic athletes and sportspeople can now take CBD
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has removed cannabidiol (CBD) from its list of prohibited substances for athletes. However, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) remains on the list.
In 2013, the AMA already increased the permitted amount of THC in urine from 15 nanograms/ml to 150 ng/ml, since recreational marijuana use generated several false positives because it remains in the urine for several weeks after being consumed.
With this news, athletes will be able to take CBD before or after their athletic events without fear of being suspended or expelled from the competition.
CBD meets the criteria
The World Anti-Doping Agency declared that CBD meets the criteria for a substance to be prohibited: it does not pose a health risk to athletes, it does not violate the spirit of sport, and it does not act as a performance enhancer.
He CBD It is considered an antidepressant, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, muscle relaxant and aid against insomnia.
The fact that medicinal cannabis is legal in 30 US states has helped the AMA to propose this change in its regulations.
“For us it is an open and very active process, which is always open to debate,” said Alan Vernec, the Agency’s director general.
