Substances: Status of medications in sport - substance information resources

Special Note:

Unlike 2008 where a retrospective TUE was required, in the World Anti-Doping Code 2009 Prohibited List, intravenous infusions are prohibited except in the management of surgical procedures, medical emergencies or clinical investigations. Hence, provided a person can establish that the intravenous infusion treatment satisfies one of those three criteria, then the treatment is permissible.

Medications in Sport - Status List 2009

ASADA displays the MIMS medications in sports list, an alphabetical substance information list to provide the status in sport of a wide range of medications and other substances. The links below relate to information that is consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code 2008 Prohibited List (effective from 1 January 2009).

Users of this list should read the instructions carefully (to view instructions click one of the links above).

Some sports may not recognise the World Anti-Doping Code 2009 Prohibited List.  Athletes should consult their sport to find out whether their sport is Code compliant. 

The Medications in Sport List does not provide sport specific data and only lists substances that are permitted or subject to certain conditions.
