WADA’s cannabis ban to be reviewedSha’Carri RichardsonThe World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is to review whether cannabis should remain a banned substance. The 21-year-old later revealed she had used cannabis to help cope with the death of her biological mother. Wada says the scientific review will begin next year and that cannabis will remain prohibited in 2022. The anti-doping agency says the review is taking place “following receipt of requests from a number of stakeholders”. A three-member Court of Arbitration panel cut the period of sanctions to two years last December following an appeal by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).
