US Long Jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall Loses National Title Due to Positive THC Test

American long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall was stripped of her national indoor title after testing positive for cannabis and serving a one-month suspension. Her suspension was reduced to one month under World Anti-Doping Agency rules because her use of cannabis was not competition-related and she completed a substance abuse program. However, she lost her title and was disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to Feb. 17, 2023. USADA urged WADA to reconsider its standards on cannabis, which is still listed as a prohibited substance.
