Lauren Goss suspended for CBD use

Lauren Goss, professional triathlete, just announced on Instagram that she was suspended for six months for too-high levels of THC. She said that this happened because there was more THC in the CBD cream she had been rubbing on her ankle. She says that because she was immediately dropped by some of her sponsors, this will mean the end of her pro career.

I didn't realize that this was even possible. I'm not trying to stir things up, but I'm kinda shocked that LetsRun offered a discount on a product (CBD cream with THC in it) that could lead to an athlete's suspension given how strongly LetsRun has always spoken out against doping.

Is this the same Lauren who trains with Gwen in Boulder?

Yep, her married name is Lauren Hurley. She came back from her ban to qualify for and race the 10K at the OT, where she finished 18th out of 37 finishers, right behind Nell Rojas. I believe I heard she is being coached by Tom Tinman Schwartz on The Morning Shakeout Podcast:
