In recent years, the use of cannabidiols, or CBD amongst athletes has gained attention. CBD is associated with enhancing pain management, stress relief, and recovery. Apart from the benefits, there are numerous side effects such as psychological disorders and alteration in male reproductive organs and visceral organs. There is not enough evidence or research in support of the long-term use of CBD. Moreover, the legalisation and regulation of CBD vary from country to country making it complex and challenging for fairness and integrity among the players. In addition to that, the policy implemented by WADA is ambiguous and creates confusion among athletes and national sports organisations. The acceptance of CBD has opened the door for its endorsement, promotion, and marketing. Ethical considerations and revisions are set to address all the factors related to the use of CBD to promote the safe use of CBD.
