THE 2023 PROHIBITED LISTWORLD ANTI-DOPING CODE
VALID 1 JANUARY 2023
Introduction
The Prohibited List is a mandatory International Standard as part of the World
Anti-Doping Program.
The List is updated annually following an extensive consultation process facilitatedby WADA. The effective date of the List is 01 January 2023.
The official text of the Prohibited List shall be maintained by WADA and shall be
published in English and French. In the event of any conflict between the English
and French versions, the English version shall prevail.
Below are some terms used in this List of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited
Methods.
Prohibited In-Competition
Subject to a different period having been approved by WADA for a given sport, the
In-Competition period shall in principle be the period commencing just before midnight(at 11:59 p.m.) on the day before a Competition in which the Athlete is scheduled toparticipate until the end of the Competition and the Sample collection process.
Prohibited at all times
This means that the substance or method is prohibited In- and Out-of-Competition
as defined in the Code.
Specified and non-Specified
As per Article 4.2.2 of the World Anti-Doping Code, “for purposes of the applicationof Article 10, all Prohibited Substances shall be Specified Substances except as
identified on the Prohibited List. No Prohibited Method shall be a Specified Method
unless it is specifically identified as a Specified Method on the Prohibited List”. As
per the comment to the article, “the Specified Substances and Methods identified in
Article 4.2.2 should not in any way be considered less important or less dangerous
than other doping substances or methods. Rather, they are simply substances andmethods which are more likely to have been consumed or used by an Athlete for a
purpose other than the enhancement of sport performance.”
Substances of Abuse
Pursuant to Article 4.2.3 of the Code, Substances of Abuse are substances thatare identified as such because they are frequently abused in society outside of
the context of sport. The following are designated Substances of Abuse: cocaine,
diamorphine (heroin), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA/”ecstasy”),
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
