Cannabis and Sportspeople w/ Drug Free Sport NZ and the NZ Drug Foundation: July 5, 2021

Cannabis has been on the World Anti Doping Agency's list of banned substances for sportspeople since 2004.

Following US Track and Field Sprinter Sha’carri Richardson’s one month suspension for testing positive for Cannabis, there has been much debate over whether this rule is fair. 

Jessica Hopkins spoke to both Nick Paterson, the Chief Executive of Drugfree Sport NZ, and then Sarah Helm the Executive Director of the NZ Drug Foundation about the issue.
