WADA publishes 2017 Prohibited List 01/01/2017
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published the 2017 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods; along with, the 2017 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes.
The List - which designates what substances and methods are prohibited both in- and out-of-competition, and which substances are banned in particular sports - was approved by the Executive Committee on 21 September and comes into force on 1 January 2017.
"WADA is pleased to publish the 2017 Prohibited List, which is one of five International Standards that are mandatory for all signatories of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) to follow," said WADA President, Sir Craig Reedie. "All athletes around the world are held to these standards and there can be no tolerance for people who intentionally break the rules," Reedie continued. "Updated annually, the List is released three months ahead of taking effect so that all stakeholders - in particular athletes and their entourage -- have ample time to familiarize themselves with the List and its modifications," he said.
