🤔 Should cannabis be prohibited for athletes? WADA has doubts.
The World Anti-Doping Agency will discuss the status of the drug next year, while the ban will remain in place until 2023.
Currently, WADA prohibits the use of cannabinoids and products containing them during sports competitions. The agency’s list of prohibited substances includes the following criteria:
🔸It has the potential to enhance sport performance;
🔸It represents a health risk to the athlete;
🔸It violates the spirit of sport.
However, Dr Gregory Ioannidis, a sports lawyer, says that permitting cannabis will violate the basic premises of its code - to protect athletes' health.
“If such proposal could be implemented, it would open Pandora’s Box and it would most certainly present WADA with several legal and ethical issues”, Dr Ioannidis argues. “Notwithstanding the fact that regular or heavy use of cannabis may create addiction, it may also increase the risk of developing a psychotic illness such as schizophrenia”.
