XFL commissioner Oliver Luck has confirmed that the league’s drug-testing policy will not include testing for marijuana.

Luck appeared on “The Yak With Barstool Big Cat” on Sirius XM, and confirmed that the XFL drug-testing policy will be looking for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), but not marijuana use. The use of marijuana is barred for players in the NFL during the season. Several players, most notably former New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon, have had issues with testing positive for marijuana over the years.

However, many argue that the NFL’s drug-testing policy restricting the use of marijuana, despite its health benefits and the fact that it isn’t a PED, is ridiculous. The XFL seems to agree as they will not be penalizing players for using the substance during competition. In just a few weeks’ time, the XFL will officially kick off its inaugural season, as all eight teams recently announced their final 52-man rosters.

The first game will be played between the D.C. Defenders and Seattle Dragons in Washington on February 8. That game will broadcast on ABC, followed by the Los Angeles Wildcats taking on the Houston Roughnecks on FOX. XFL News will be providing you with live game coverage as the league begins play this year.
