Nevada State Athletic Commission votes not to discipline boxers, MMA fighters for marijuana use

The most significant regulator of combat sports has made a huge move in the way it deals with marijuana. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) voted Wednesday to no longer discipline fighters for cannabis. NSAC, which regulates some of the most high-profile boxing and MMA fights in the world, joins the Florida State Boxing Commission, which stopped testing for marijuana completely in May. The new policy begins Wednesday and is not retroactive to cases that have yet to be adjudicated. The NSAC will continue to test for marijuana for data purposes over the next six months, and a determination will then be made whether that data collection will continue. The commission was given the leeway to make the decision to not discipline for marijuana via a memo from Nevada Senior Deputy Attorney General Edward Magaw, who was at the meeting. Magaw said that the vote will represent a change in policy immediately and will later be reflected in the commission's written regulations.

Spectators barred from Tokyo Olympics venues amid Japan's COVID-19 state of emergency

Fans were barred from the pandemic-postponed Tokyo Olympics that will open in two weeks, following a staie of emergency issued on Thursday. The ban was announced by the International Olympic Committee and Japanese organizers, reducing the games to a made-for-TV event. Fans from abroad were banned months ago, and the new measures announced by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will mean venues around Tokyo -- indoor and outdoor -- will not have any fans at all. Just two weeks ago, organizers and the IOC allowed venues to be filled to 50% of capacity, but crowds not to exceed 10,000. The state of emergency has forced a late turnaround, which was always an option if cases rose. The main focus of the emergency is a request for bars, restaurants and karaoke parlors serving alcohol to close. A ban on serving alcohol is a key step to tone down Olympic-related festivities and keep people from drinking and partying. Tokyo residents are expected.
