The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published its 2023 Prohibited List.

The Prohibited List designates the substances and methods that are prohibited in sport. Following an extensive consultation period by WADA, the 2023 Prohibited List was published on 29 September 2022. This gives athletes and support personnel sufficient time to make themselves aware of the changes, review any medications they use on Global DRO, and apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) if required before the updated List comes into effect on 1 January 2023.

Please visit UK Anti-Doping’s website to read a summary of the changes on the 2023 List and information on Tramadol, which will be prohibited in-competition from 1 January 2024.
