USADA is about to come down hard on the CBD oil industry by using the example of an athlete that claims tested positive for THC because of a specific CBD oil product.
It'll be interesting to see the consequences of this. Maybe LRC will need to find a different sponsor.
There's no such thing as a "tainted" CBD product. Full-spectrum CBD contains small amounts of THC. If you take enough over time, it can trigger a positive THC test. CBD isolates shouldn't do this, but you still run the risk as an athlete
If you are subject to WADA testing, you probably shouldn't be taking ANY CBD products.
I am curious, though, considering how THC is only banned IN competition...this test had to be around a race, then, and there had to be sufficient levels of THC in the sample to trigger that. I'm wondering what the threshold level is considering THC stays in your system for a month, but it's only banned in competition. Anyone know?
