2019 Anti-Doping Prohibited List
Published Fri 23 Nov 2018
All athletes and support personnel need to be aware that on 28 September the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published the 2019 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods and Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes. The List comes into force on 1 January 2019.
The Prohibited List sets out which substances and methods are banned in sport, and is updated each year in response to scientific and medical research, trends, and intelligence gathered from law enforcement and pharmaceutical companies.
As athletes are solely responsible for all substances in their body, it is important that they are aware of upcoming changes to the List.
Its publication gives athletes substantial time to become aware of the changes, review any medications, and apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) if required, well before the updated List comes into effect on 1 January 2019.
Some key changes to the List are included in the Summary Document below, however all athletes should access the full 2019 Prohibited List, as well as information about major modifications via the WADA website.
ASADA’s Check Your Substances (Global DRO) online tool will be updated in the new year when the changes come into effect.
