The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has released the 2025 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods, which will take effect on January 1, 2025. The list outlines substances and methods that are banned both in- and out-of-competition.

Key Changes for 2025:

• Updated substance classes: Additional examples have been added to clarify prohibited substances.
• Formoterol dosing: The dosing intervals for formoterol have been adjusted.
• Blood donations: Donation of blood and blood components is now permitted under certain conditions.
• Hydrafinil: Hydrafinil is now classified as a non-specified stimulant.
• Guanfacine: Guanfacine has been clarified as a non-prohibited substance.
• Beta-blockers: Beta-blockers are no longer prohibited in skiing and snowboarding.

Annual Review Process:

WADA conducts a thorough review process each year to update the prohibited list based on scientific research, trends, and intelligence. Substances must meet at least two of the following criteria to be added to the list:

1. Potential to enhance or enhance sport performance
2. Represents an actual or potential health risk
3. Violates the spirit of sport

Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs):

Athletes who require a prohibited substance for legitimate medical reasons can apply for a TUE. The TUE Program is a rigorous process that ensures athletes can use necessary medications while maintaining fairness in competition.

Athletes and support personnel are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new list to avoid inadvertent use of prohibited substances.
