Prohibited List

The Prohibited List contains the prohibited substances and methods, which is a cornerstone of the World Anti-Doping Code.

• The List is updated annually following an extensive consultation process facilitated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
• The updated Prohibited List is effective from 1st January each year.
• The Summary of Major Modifications provides an overview of changes compared to the 2020 List.
• Certain substances are placed on a monitoring programme – these are not on the Prohibited List, but WADA wishes to monitor their use to detect potential patterns of misuse in sport.
