World Anti-Doping Code & Prohibited List

From 1 January 2024, a new version of the Code is in effect and it’s important that all players and player support personnel are aware of how this impacts them.

For more information on the changes within the 2024 Code, visit UKAD's website.

It is vital players and player support staff understand what is banned in our sport and the facts around the prohibited list, for this information and what it means to the individual, please visit here.

To access the full 2024 prohibited list please visit WADA's webpage.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has also now published the 2025 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List), which was approved by WADA’s Executive Committee (ExCo) during its meeting on 12 September 2024 and enters into force on 1 January 2025. 

Players and player support staff are advised to familiarise themselves with the 2025 list, while also reviewing: 

  1. the 2025 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes as compared to the 2024 List; and 
  2. the 2025 Monitoring Program, which includes substances that are not on the List, but that WADA wishes to monitor in order to detect potential patterns of misuse in sport.
