Stronger, faster, but not higher: Tokyo Olympics to warn on weed eNCA
"There are countries and regions around the world that have relaxed rules recently on the use of cannabis," noted Tokyo 2020 CEO Toshiro Muto.
Muto said the topic was raised by a member of the Tokyo 2020 executive board as something that should be transmitted to the heads of country teams when they visit Tokyo ahead of the Games. The US anti-doping agency USADA notes on its website that marijuana could"decrease anxiety and tension, resulting in better sport performance under pressure".
The issue hit the headlines in Japan when two Japanese snowboarders were punished after traces of marijuana were detected in their hair following a party in December 2015.
