Lauren Goss suspended for CBD use

She’s the 5th to fail for cannabinoids this year. 8 have failed for ostarine which is found in many supplements (USADA has over 60 high-risk supplements that can have ostarine in them even though it’s not listed on the label). Heck even a salt tab was proved to be tainted with ostarine... so before you start saying “athletes shouldn’t take any supplements” throw away all your electrolytes so you’re not a hypocrite.

Drug testing is just starting to make less sense. People (at least in the US) are getting sanctioned for cannabinoids which have nothing to do with performance along with ostarine they likely took inadvertently. Yet there’s so few sanctions for EPO (2 this year) but people are so certain all the top athletes are doping (likely with EPO). People like Lance Armstrong (and all of the cyclists of his time) were tested a ridiculous number of times but never tested positive despite taking every PED under the sun. Christian Coleman’s Dad stating that CC has passed 30 drug tests means absolutely nothing to most people because we know the tests can be beat and have seen that proved over and over and over and over... and over again.

So honestly, what’s the point of drug testing when the majority of people actually caught are sanctioned for substances that don’t even matter, yet the people everyone thinks are cheating rarely fail tests?

Seriously, look through these sanctions and think about it. Is drug test really helping sports?

Thought I had- a Way to make money would be to cover the entire body in CBD cream so it is like lube, and then make a video for amateur pornography industry wearing it, then get tested by USADA/WADA, etc and prove it didn’t up the THC content much.

THC is a PED wrote:

Performance-enhancement: A common perception of marijuana is that its use impairs physical activity, including exercise performance. While the effects of marijuana can decrease hand-eye coordination and distort spatial perception, there are other effects that can be performance enhancing for some athletes and sport disciplines. Cannabis can cause muscle relaxation and reduce pain during post-workout recovery. It can also decrease anxiety and tension, resulting in better sport performance under pressure. In addition, cannabis can increase focus and risk-taking behaviors, allowing athletes to forget bad falls or previous trauma in sport, and push themselves past those fears in competition.[1]

Serious question: alcohol does all the same things. Why isn't it banned in competition? It used to be for certain limited sports (archery).

So you can take tequila shots and do a triathlon? That sounds super safe.

Try knowing what you're talking about b4 posting. For starters, CBD is legal in all 50 states. It has been for a long time. CBD containing more than the minimal amount of THC is not. Even with higher THC, its legal for recreational use in some states such as CO, NV and several others. Still, some other states require a medical exception card to get it. It serves well as an inflammation reducer similar to Ibuprofen, but more of a natural remedy. I too do not condone marijuana use, but thats not what CBD is. Just dont jump on the moral bandwagon when you have no clue. It demonstrates incredible immaturity.

Nobody’s mentioned how hard it is for a low fat and highly active body that probably only uses cannabis time to time to test positive.

She’d eaten edibles with lots of THC 72 hrs or less before. Or she’d smoked 48 hours before.

Anyone with under 7% body fat, exercising an hour plus a day and only a recreational smoker will have a hard time failing a drug test.

CBD cream my arse. Furthermore, CBD low in THC extracted from hemp is not necessarily snake oil and can be highly beneficial to the right ailment. Yet specific CBD strains that are grown as a cannabis sativa

plant...AC/DC

, Charlottes Web, Harlequinn, F Cancer..... have their specific relief to specific ailments. However, there are a lot of snakes out in the market that will tell and sell CBD to you all the same. It’s not.

“Expert” here. God bless.

When I've got serious injury while I was running, first of all I've asked my doctor to fix my leg and make everything he could with annoying painful feelings. He recommended me to consume https://www.shoppingcbd.com/cbd-for-injuries/ , and that's exactly what I did since than - few drops of CBD oil every single day can help me stay calm and confident. It's even better than marijuana smoking.

Now qualified to run the 10K in Eugene, under a new name of course, Lauren Hurley.

It wasn’t the CBD cream that triggered it like she claims. She was smoking ALOT of weed w/ THC and wasn’t being truthful about it.

Testing protocol needs to be questioned here. Even pure thc , transdermal absorption rate into bloodstream would be low

You don't think she was eating it? I really doubt her story is true..

I smoke a tiny bit of weed daily*, and take a drug store pee test once or twice a year just to see. I've never failed on the test. The shortest time between weed-using and testing was 11 hours.

* For the curious, I go through an "eighth" in about a month. Yes, a month.

What, did she not pass to you after she puff-puffed? You should probably think about toking up to mellow out, honey.

Wow - peoples reactions to THC was very different than today. THC needs to be removed from the banned substance list

Sorry boo, but beer is my thing.

Well that much is quite obvious, as is the fact that Lauren Hurley would own you in a race at any distance. Work on those insecurities or at least keep them better hidden.

TTFN

I frankly don’t care if she would. I’m at least not a total head case as you seem to be is it Mr. Hurley? Good luck living with that drama Queen. Xoxo

drugs are for losers

Yo you're the one bumping this thread three months after the previous response to drop dimes on someone who's already come back from her suspension and run at the OT. She's living in your head rent-free and you're full-on projecting, nutbar.

Yeah, "Mr. Hurley," you nailed exactly who I am, Einstein. Lauren, err "my wife" could be high as a Georgia pine and still come off more rational than you are here and outperform you in racing and life in general. I know exactly who you are now, all-conference a few times in the MAC or the WAC or the RMAC or the GLIAC, maybe a national qualifier once or twice in college with an all-American finish who as a result has tricked herself into believing and broadcasting that you could've walked-on and developed into a more accomplished athlete at a Big 10 or ACC or Pac 12 program. Furthermore, through your late 20s and into your 30s you still hold the illusion that you can develop further into an OT qualifier and beyond, which is why you bounce to a different group/coach with a famous name every few years. You refuse to accept and get help for your REDS resulting from neurosis, so it's a neat self-fulfilling prophecy that you won't be accountable for and you run from anyone telling you the truth of your predicament. You love criticizing more accomplished runners for what you perceive to be their faults and blunders, though they clearly have more fulfilling lives than you do.

You have a college degree and work an hourly job with no real long-term career prospects. Your S.O. grows tired of this narcissistic, narrow mindset and cheats on you with one of your friends. You're hundreds of Boulder runners stretching back to the '80s.

Good luck with just being you.
