If Devin Logan has her way, she’ll be the first and last to serve this sort of doping ban.
The 2014 Olympic silver medalist is in the final week of a three-month suspension, announced Friday, for using a cannabis-based product she says contained higher-than-allowed levels of the banned substance, THC.
Though THC positives are nothing new – the chemical is found in marijuana – Logan’s case appears to be the first-of-its-kind in the United States involving Cannabidiol (CBD) drops, which athletes are increasingly using to manage pain.
What wasn’t unique about this case, however, is that it involved taking a product that she says had bad information on the ingredients label.
