Today, CBD (or cannabidiol) has been accepted by sports authorities around the world, but it has long had a bad reputation. For too long, this molecule found in hemp was associated with THC, also found in cannabis, and its psychotropic effects. But times have changed and today it is commonly used by top sportsmen and women, including, of course, footballers. It is still important to remember that the molecules of CBD and THC are completely different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is CBD and why is it useful for athletes?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

CBD is one of the cannabinoids found in the hemp flower. But, unlike THC,\u00a0the use of this molecule does not lead to psychotropic effects<\/strong>It is good for your health and can be prescribed medically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ses vertus sont nombreuses et reconnues par la m\u00e9decine. Au-del\u00e0 d\u2019une hygi\u00e8ne de vie irr\u00e9prochable, le CBD a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 son utilit\u00e9 pour att\u00e9nuer, voire \u00e9liminer l\u2019anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 et le stress. Il est excellent pour am\u00e9liorer la concentration et facilite le rel\u00e2chement des muscles. Le CBD favorise \u00e9galement un sommeil de qualit\u00e9 et une meilleure r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration. Autant d\u2019effets b\u00e9n\u00e9fiques non n\u00e9gligeables lorsque l\u2019on est soumis \u00e0 la pression inh\u00e9rente au sport de haut niveau, et au rythme effr\u00e9n\u00e9 des entrainements et des matchs qui s’accumulent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What does the law say? And what does FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) say?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On 31 December 2021, a decree published in the Official Journal authorised the use of CBD. To be more precise, it authorised the use of hemp varieties with a maximum THC content of 0.3 %. However, it restricted the way it could be consumed. Thus, leaves and flowers were prohibited from being sold for public health reasons. However, following a Question Prioritaire de Constitutionnalit\u00e9 (QPC), the Council of State disagreed with the French government's position and allowed the sale of leaves and flowers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

FIFA has authorised its use in 2018.<\/strong>\u00a0Rather, the International Football Federation has removed CBD from the list of prohibited products, following the recommendations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some examples in professional football:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Many footballers have embraced the drug, such as Megan Rapinoe, a US national team executive, world champion and Olympic champion. This great athlete is an active advocate of CBD.<\/strong> Suite \u00e0 des blessures \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition, elle est parvenue \u00e0 surmonter ses probl\u00e8mes physiques gr\u00e2ce au CBD. Elle a souvent d\u00e9clar\u00e9 avoir toujours pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 des alternatives naturelles \u00e0 tous les produits chimiques qu\u2019on a pu lui prescrire pour mieux r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer, mieux dormir, mieux se concentrer, etc. Elle r\u00e9sume ainsi sa fa\u00e7on d\u2019\u00eatre en forme : de l\u2019eau, du CBD et du sommeil. Elle est tellement convaincue des bienfaits du CBD qu\u2019elle a m\u00eame cr\u00e9\u00e9 une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9di\u00e9e \u00e0 la vente de produits contenant la mol\u00e9cule, The Mendico CBD. Beaucoup de stars de NBA (ligue de basketball professionnelle des USA) et de NFL (ligue de football am\u00e9ricain professionnelle des USA) ont \u00e9galement publiquement fait l’\u00e9loge du CBD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ce cas n\u2019est pas isol\u00e9, et que ce soit au plus haut niveau comme \u00e0 un niveau amateur, les footballeurs ne cachent plus aujourd’hui leur attrait pour le CBD, dans le cadre de leur r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration notamment. Avec le d\u00e9veloppement de ce march\u00e9, la CBD sales<\/a> has become quite common, as well as legal. This is evidenced by the hundreds of shops, both physical and online, that have sprung up in France in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On another note, but still in the world of football, it should be noted that the Birmingham City club in the United Kingdom is sponsored by a CBD-based drink brand. This drink is sold alongside CBD sweets in the stadium refreshment room during half-time. The issue of CBD is really no longer taboo in the world of football!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
