US long jumper loses national title due to positive cannabis test.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN
US long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall has been stripped of her national indoor title and suspended for one month after testing positive for THC, a chemical found in cannabis. The positive test means Davis-Woodhall lost her title and was disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to February 17. Cannabis, marijuana, and hashish are considered prohibited substances under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules. USADA has advocated for WADA to treat marijuana in a fairer and more effective way to identify true in-competition use.
