Hi everyone

My name's Ian. I work for a football website and recently we received a question from a player who was asking whether he can be banned for smoking weed by an anti doping agency.

I know it's not the best idea for a professional football player to be a pothead but I wonder if it can be allowed for medical purposes. Do you know any players that are or were smoking weed? Has anyone ever been banned for that?

Thanks

I suppose it all depends where your at in the world really, i no that theres a good chance that half the footballers in the uk are always sniffing coke, so if that doesnt get them banned i cant see how cannabis could warrent a ban, i suppose its the old saying, it all depends on who you are and who there going to cover for.
