WADA Publishes 2024 Prohibited List

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published the 2024 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List), which was approved by WADA’s Executive Committee (ExCo) during its meeting on 22 September 2023 and enters into force on 1 January 2024.

WADA has also published:

• the 2024 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes as compared to the 2023 List; and
• the 2024 Monitoring Program, which includes substances that are not on the List, but that WADA wishes to monitor in order to detect potential patterns of misuse in sport.

The List is one of the eight International Standards that are mandatory for all Signatories of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code). It designates what substances and methods are prohibited both in- and out-of-competition and which substances are banned in particular sports.

WCBS calls on all athletes, entourage, and all stakeholders to take note of the above changes.
