      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Introduction: Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound in the cannabis plant with psycho-physiological effects that may support athletes` training and recovery. Although not banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, CBD products may carry a risk of inadvertent anti-doping violations due to contamination with prohibited cannabinoids. The primary objective of this study was to characterize the use, rationale, and perceived benefits of CBD use by elite-level athletes in Canada. The secondary objectives were to (1) identify the sources of information that influence CBD use, (2) describe how athletes are using CBD, and (3) explore the barriers or deterrents to its use.

Design: Cross-sectional descriptive survey study.

Methods: Elite-level Canadian athletes completed an anonymous online survey on CBD use between October 2021-June 2023.

Results: 80 athletes completed the survey. 38% (n = 30) had used CBD, with 30% (n = 9) of CBD users reporting active/current use. CBD users cumulatively agreed or strongly agreed that CBD is safe (96%); improved sleep (93%) and relaxation (90%); and reduced pain from training (77%). Friends (26%) and the internet (24%) were the most frequently reported first sources of information on CBD. Oral tincture/oil was the most commonly used (31%) form of CBD. The most reported reason for never using or discontinuing CBD was concern about an anti-doping rule violation (28%).

Discussion: Given the self-reported benefits of CBD among elite-level Canadian athletes, alongside concerns about inadvertent anti-doping violations, clinicians working with this population should provide evidence-based guidance on CBD use and support informed decision-making to minimize risk and optimize athlete safety.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. The purported physiological and psychological effects of CBD may benefit athletes` ability to train and recover. Cannabis, cannabis products, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and synthetic cannabinoids mimicking the effects of THC have been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency while CBD remains on the list of exceptions. Lack of clarity in the manufacturing practices of commercially available CBD-containing products may pose a risk of inadvertent doping due to the possible presence of other banned cannabinoids. The prevalence, rationale, and perceived benefits of CBD use in elite Canadian athletes has not been explored. The primary aim of this study was to characterize the point-prevalence and rationale for CBD use by tier 3 to 5 level athletes in Canada. Secondary aims were to identify the (1) expected and perceived benefits, (2) barriers or deterrents to, (3) and the sources of information that influence the use of CBD, as well as (4) to describe the reported methods of CBD use. Using a cross-sectional design, Canadian athletes from Olympic and Paralympic sport programs were invited to complete a self-administered and anonymous online survey between October 2021 and June 2023 to gather information on CBD use. Eighty tier 3 to 5 level Canadian athletes completed the survey. Thirty-seven percent of the athletes had used CBD, with 30% of users reporting active use. Oral tincture/oil was the most commonly used (31%) form of CBD. Most CBD users (55%) relied on "trial and error" to find their optimal dose. The most reported reason for discontinuing CBD (52%) was fear of an unintentional anti-doping violation secondary to product contamination with THC and/or other banned cannabinoids. Among CBD users, 96% agreed that CBD is safe; improves sleep (93%) and relaxation (90%); reduces pain from training (77%); enhances physical (73%) and mental (70%) recovery after training or competition; reduces pain from competition (70%) and improves symptoms of anxiety (60%) and depression (54%). Our findings indicate that athletes use CBD for multiple reasons. This information may help to inform future research on the effects of using CBD by athletes and the risk of inadvertent doping from using CBD-containing products marketed to athletes.]]></content:encoded>
