“Need for more public awareness around the use of marijuana by African footballers”

Date: Jan 22, 2025

Africa's football governing body CAF's medical committee member Dr. Yasser Abdel Rahman says there's a need for more public awareness around the use of marijuana by African footballers and its possible sanctions.

Rahman was in attendance at the CAF regional workshop for doping control officers in Johannesburg this week.

SABC Sport previously reported on some players' continued use of marijuana, even though it remains one of the banned substances in professional sports, and Rahman says this can destroy many careers, if not curbed.
