Updates to the 2026 Prohibited List

British Weight Lifting (BWL) shared the list on 23 October 2025 and now wishes to inform members that UKAD’s 2026 Prohibited List Summary of Changes website article has been updated since it was first published.

The update highlights that the withdrawal of blood or blood components (even without the reintroduction of blood into the circulatory system) will also be prohibited in 2026, unless certain exceptions apply. 

Visit UK Anti-Doping's website to read a full summary of the changes to the List for 2026 and keep up to date by following @ukantidoping on social media.
