World swimming body FINA announced on Wednesday new rules to combat illegal drug-taking in sport, including publishing a list of banned substances for the first time.One list outlines those drugs which are banned during competition, while the second lists substances that are off limits to swimmers at all times.Cannabis is included as a banned drug for competing athletes but is not on the second list.
"It is not a substance like steroids which allow an athlete to become bigger and better over time, and that is why it is banned in competition and not out," said FINA vice-president and legal adviser Ross Wales."Hopefully we are finding more clear ways to express ourselves, so there is less confusion when the lawyers become involved," he said.Hopefully the laws will be changed soon!
