Irvine, CA -- January 18, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
Corix Bioscience Inc. (OTCQB: CXBS) today announced that it will
joint venture with ChampRX for its products. Corix will provide
ChampRX with a 100% THC free product focused on athletes. Corix
will be their official CBD manufacturer and a 25% equity holder in
ChampRX. Both companies will be ring sponsors for Shannon Briggs’s
next title fight. Corix will also have access to the marketing for
ChampRX and its partners. Under the terms of the agreement, Corix
will provide the science and manufacturing behind the products and
ChampRX will market and promote the product.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recently decided to remove
cannabidiol (CBD) from its list of banned substances in 2018.
“The recent WADA decision has opened up a large market of
athletes. Being able to produce a THC free product on a consistent
basis is our strength and vital to these athletes. The strong
benefits of non-THC based CBD oil can now be exploited. This will
be the first of many deals in the athletic arena. We have a number
of upcoming meetings with other large athletic organizations, which
should generate a number of new contracts,” commented Michael
Ogburn, Corix Bioscience CEO.
"The Prohibited List review involves a very extensive
stakeholder consultation process over the course of nine months,"
said Olivier Higgli, Director General, in an official statement.
"In reviewing the List, experts examine such sources as: scientific
and medical research; trends; and, intelligence gathered from law
enforcement and pharmaceutical companies in order to stay ahead of
those that endeavor to cheat the system."
While CBD will be permitted next year, the WADA notes that CBD
extracted from the cannabis plant may also contain varying
concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which remains a
prohibited substance. This means that athletes will need to
exercise extreme caution when taking CBD products to ensure that
they contain zero trace of THC. Extensive drug testing will be in
place to ensure that there are no trace amounts of the banned
psychoactive cannabinoid.
In 2015, the WADA tested over 300,000 athletes worldwide with
around 4% showing signs of cannabinoids in their system, which
under previous regulations included CBD and would automatically
disqualify any athlete testing positive. Under the new regulations,
even trace amounts of THC could disqualify athletes, which makes it
important to ensure that any CBD products consumed contain
absolutely no THC content.
The marketing of the products will begin immediately with
several telephone and print interviews during the remainder of the
month. This will include major athletic publications and
national TV networks.
“This is an exciting partnership for our company. This industry
is accelerating very quickly. When we couple our unique science
with the notoriety of the principals at ChampRX we will be able to
generate sizeable sales beginning almost immediately. Our goal is
to become the leading distributor and tissue culture propagator of
CBD in the world and this is another big step in that
direction. Our biggest competitive advantages of strong
genetic engineering, unsurpassed purity and worldwide industry
licenses will allow us to scale our operations very quickly,”
stated Ogburn.
