WADA - 2025 Prohibited List

All prohibited substances and methods in Code-compliant sports are outlined in the Prohibited List.

The 2025 Prohibited List is managed and coordinated by WADA, found on the WADA website here.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recently released the 2025 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (the List). Broken down into several categories, the List identifies which substances and methods are prohibited at all times, in-competition only, and within specific sports. The 2025 Prohibited List can be found here.

The List is updated each year, coming into effect on 1st January. It is possible for WADA to make changes to the List more than once a year, but they must communicate such changes three months before they come into effect. As this list is updated annually, athletes and athlete support personnel should make sure they check it ahead of it coming into effect.

More information on what’s banned in the sport can be found on UKAD’s website here.
