24 October 2024, Lausanne – The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has issued its Prohibited List for 2025, which will come into effect on 1 January 2025. The 2025 Prohibited List as well as summary of the major modifications can be found here.
Key updates to the List include:
- Adjustments to dosing intervals for formoterol, though the maximum daily delivered dose remains unchanged.
- The donation of blood and blood components, including through apheresis, is no longer prohibited when performed at accredited collection centres.
- Hydrafinil has been newly classified as a non-specified stimulant.
In order to help athletes and stakeholders familiarise themselves with the updated Prohibited List, the International Testing Agency (ITA) will hold a webinar, “What you need to know for 2025” on 7 November 2024 from 14h-15h CET.
Mark Stuart, a sports pharmacist, will be explaining the key changes to the Prohibited List that athletes and Athlete Support Personnel must be aware of.
