Were you there?

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.
In today's climate, that athlete will become a cult hero and likely gain some kind of industry sponsorship..this isn't 20 years ago where you were ruled a drug addict and your career was likely over..
Hilarious that this even makes news anymore..
So looking on the Floyd’s of Leadville site, the only “runner” is this long haired dude:

Anyone ever heard of this “ultra runner”?

I was a professional cyclist for a few years and now in the CBD industry. Back when I was cycling I know a bunch of guys who would get blood tests to see how fast they cleared thc. You’ll get a 10mg thc edible out of your system and down to 50mg/nl in about 4 days. If you’re a heavy user it could take a bit longer.
No one is coming down on CBD oil. It’s not tainted, you can build up the thc choo metabolite in your system by taking full spectrum. Can you build it up to 150mg/nl by just taking the oil? No. To have those kind of levels in your system you’d need to be a very active cannabis user using high doses of thc. There’s no doubt that people will blame it on full spec CBD oils to save face, but there’s a reason Wada made that threshold so high....this isn’t targeting people who use thc out of competition. It’s targeting in competition. Aka- you pretty much have to be high at the time of the test to score a 150.
150 mg/nl? Oh yeah, that's super high. To trigger that with full spectrum CBD you'd have to be drinking a quart of it a day. Thanks for the info!
What's so bad in CBD? It's not going to affect his results anyway!
What's so bad in CBD? It is not going to affect his results anyway! I’m taking CBD oil after work out, and I cannot say that it helps me to perform better in the gym or run faster on a trade mill after CBD. It just helps me to relax, and not suffer from pain on the next day after a productive workout. I buy CBD oil on https://knockoutcbd.com/cbd-product-category/cbd-oil-tincture/, and I can say that it has a THC level of less than 0,3%, which is nothing compared to medical marijuana. I think that someone just wants to get rid of this person, like eliminate the competitor, and this the only reason they found something.

I remember a WADA interview where the reporter asks why WADA list recreational drugs like weed are on the banned list . The said something like "moral responsibility" .

It's ridiculously stupid that they test for things which don't improve performance..
Ever heard of competitive eating?
I don't think CBD or THC should be banned in competition. I'm not up-to-date on the rules any longer, but for example - alcohol used to be banned for sports like archery and darts. So how did that work with athletics? Could you be banned for that or was it sport-specific? Did any organisation that works across a range of sports ban alcohol?
The reason I'm asking that is that alcohol could potentially be performance enhancing in some sports, although obviously not likely to be for athletics.

I don't think it was that bad for this sportsman because it's impossible to get a lousy test from cannabis. I have an excellent opinion of cannabis in general. I think it's instrumental. These plants produce over 400 compounds, more than sixty of which are unique to cannabis plants. And they can be isolated for medical and other purposes. And there are so many CBD products out there now that almost every one of them helps with a particular problem. It is even possible now to give gifts from a collection of various valuable tinctures. I recently gave my mother a set of https://www.parents.com/parenting/moms/9-cbd-oil-gifts-for-moms/на for her birthday.
