The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed the CBD from the list of banned substances for 2018. The agency added to the list synthetic cannabinoids that have little to do with cannabinoids extracted from cannabis.

"Cannabidiol is no longer prohibited. Synthetic cannabidiol is not a cannabimimetra, but cannabidiol extracted from cannabis plants may contain different concentrations of THC, which will remain a prohibited substance. "- we can read in the document.

Athletes must be cautious in order for their CBD products to be tested for THC. The World Anti-Doping Agency has set an acceptable THC limit of 150 nanograms per milliliter of blood.

This theoretically eliminated the positive test for athletes who used marijuana in the weeks before the test. During the 2012 London Games. Only four tests have shown excess THC in the blood of athletes.

"The new threshold is an attempt to ensure that the use of cannabis before the competition is detected and should not be used for a few days or weeks before the start of the competition," said former WADA spokesman Ben Nichols.

Last year the United States Anti-Doping Agency investigated the UFC star Nate Diaza after appearing at a press conference with a vaporizer of CBD oil.

"This is the CBD," Diaz said. "It helps in the healing process and inflammation. If you want it before and after the fight or training, it will make your life better. "

Unlike performance enhancers that are not allowed at every stage of training, substances classified as those that can be "used in competition" may be used during the training period.

Athletes will be punished only if too much drug is in their body at the competition.
