PROHIBITED LIST: MAJOR CHANGES AS OF 1 JANUARY 2022

The World Anti-Doping Code Prohibited List is updated each year with the revised List coming into effect on 1 January.

FOR 2022 THE MAJOR CHANGES ARE:

Substances and methods prohibited at all times

• BPC-157 is now listed as a prohibited substance. Athletes should be aware that BPC-157 is being illegally included in some wellness and anti-aging treatments and products.

• Anabolic Agents: On the Prohibited List, Tibolone has been transferred from the ‘Other Anabolic Agents’ category (S1.2) to the Anabolic Androgenic Steroids category (S1.1) and osilodrostat has been added to the S1.2 category as a prohibited substance.

• Peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances and mimetics: Various examples of growth hormone analogues are added to this category.

• Beta-2 Agonists: The daily dosing time intervals for salbutamol have been reduced to 600 micrograms (6 puffs) over 8 hours starting from any dose (previously 800 micrograms over 12 hours).

Substances and Methods Prohibited In-Competition

• Glucocorticoids: All injectable routes of administration of glucocorticoids are now prohibited during the in-competition period

• If you legitimately require a prohibited substance for health reasons, you can apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). Make sure you check if you require an in-advance or retroactive TUE and maintain appropriate medical records. TUE requirements and the status of specific medications are available in the Sport Integrity app.

The Sport Integrity app has been downloaded by more than 30,000 Australians and is free to download from Google Play or Apple stores
