Medicines in Sport

We all have a responsibility to help keep sport clean and protect its integirity. It is vital to be aware that it’s not just the serious performance enhancing drugs that can get you banned for life. Many simple over the counter remedies and prescription medicines are on the Prohibited List. The Prohibited List identifies substances and methods that are banned in-competition only and those banned at all times . Check what applies to your sport on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list at www.wada-ama.org. Before taking any medication you should also check it on the Global drug reference online (Global DRO) at www.globaldro.com. This is an online service that allows you to check the status of a licensed medication bought in the UK, USA or Canada.

  

Do you know what is safe to take and what's not?

  • Are you confident that whatever you are administering to your body in training or in competition is safe, effective and legal.
  • If the product you are taking is unsuitable to take in sport, are you aware of alternative medication that you may take that is legal.
  • If you are taking supplements to improve strength or in body building, are you aware of potential side effects and interactions with other medication you may be taking.
