The World Anti-Doping Code was unanimously adopted in Copenhagen in 2003 World Conference on combating doping in sports. International sports federations, national Olympic committees, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and other sports organizations adopted the Code before the 2004 Athens Olympics. WADA anti-doping rules are mandatory for all athletes in the world.
Prohibited list
The Prohibited List is an international standard defining which substances and methods are prohibited in sport. The list also identifies substances that are prohibited for specific sports.
Every year WADA publishes a new version of the Prohibited List. New version published three months before the list comes into force.
Denied list structure
The list consists of three parts:
1. Substances and methods prohibited in sports at all times (both in competitive and non-competitive periods).
S1. Anabolic agents
S2. Hormones and related substances
S3. Beta-2 agonists
S4. Agents with antiestrogenic activity
S5. Diuretics and other masking agents
M1. Enhanced oxygen transport
M2. Chemical and physical manipulations
M3. Gene doping
2. Substances and methods prohibited only in competitions.
S6. Stimulants
S7. Drugs
S8. Cannabinoids (marijuana, hashish)
S9. Glucocorticosteroids
3. Substances prohibited in certain sports
P1. Alcohol
P2. Beta blockers
ALWAYS consult your international federation to know which substances and methods are prohibited in your sport, as individual substances may be added to Section 3 of the Prohibited List. Your doctor should know that you are a high-class athlete who follows all the rules of the sport. If you do not know exactly what substances are in a product, do not use it until you are sure it does not contain prohibited substances. Ignorance is never an excuse for doping. ALWAYS use caution when taking substances that are permitted out-of-competition. Their use immediately before the start of competitions can lead to a positive doping control result during competitions.
This World Anti-Doping Code came into force on January 1, 2012. In accordance with Article 4.2.2 of the World Anti-Doping Code, all Prohibited Substances shall be considered as “Specified Substances” with the exception of substances in Classes S1, S2, S4.4, S4.5, S6.a, and Prohibited Methods M1, M2 and M3. SUBSTANCES AND METHODS PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES (both in-competition and out-of-competition).

APPENDIX 1: DEFINITIONS
Purpose, scope and structure of the World Anti-Doping Program and the Code
The objectives of the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Program are to:
- Protect the fundamental right of athletes to compete free of doping, and thereby promote health, fairness and equality for all athletes worldwide, and
- Ensure the establishment of coherent, coordinated and effective anti-doping programs, both internationally and nationally, to detect, deter and prevent doping.
The Code is the fundamental and universal document on which the World Anti-Doping Program in Sport is based. The purpose of the Code is to improve the effectiveness of the fight against doping in the world by bringing together the main elements of this fight. To achieve effective interaction in those matters where uniformity is required, the Code contains fairly specific provisions; at the same time, it is quite universal in cases where a flexible approach to the practical application of anti-doping principles is required.
Note: The Olympic Charter, in force since 7 July 2007, and the UNESCO Convention, adopted in Paris on 19 October 2005, recognize the prevention and control of doping in sport as an essential component of the work of the International Olympic Committee and UNESCO, as well as the fundamental role of the Code.
World Anti-Doping Program
The World Anti-Doping Program includes all components necessary to ensure optimal harmonization and implementation best methods organizations in international and national anti-doping programs. Its main components are:
Level 1. Code.
Level 2. International standards.
Level 3. Models of best practices and principles of work organization.
International standards for the various technical and procedural components of the anti-doping program will be developed after consultation with signatories and governments and approved by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). They will be created with the aim of harmonizing relations between anti-doping organizations responsible for certain technical and procedural components of anti-doping programs. Strict adherence to International Standards is mandatory to determine compliance of work in a country with the Code. The Standards may be revised from time to time by the WADA Executive Committee after necessary consultation with Signatories and Governments. Unless otherwise provided by the Code, International Standards and all amendments thereto shall enter into force on the date specified in the International Standards or amendments.
Note: International Standards include many technical details necessary to implement the provisions of the Code. International Standards incorporated by reference in the Code will, after consultation with signatories and governments, be peer reviewed and issued as separate technical documents. It is important that the WADA Executive Committee be able to make timely changes to International Standards without requiring any amendments to the Code or to the rules and regulations of an individual constituent.
Best Practice Models and Recommendations
Models of best practice and governance have been and will be developed based on the Code to support decision-making in various areas of the fight against doping. These models will be recommended by the World Anti-Doping Agency and will be available to signatories upon request, however they will not be binding on the parties. In addition to providing documentation describing the models, WADA will provide training to signatories.
Note: In accordance with amendments to the Code adopted in 2007, WADA will prepare additional models anti-doping rules and regulations for all major groups of signatories (e.g. International Federations, National Anti-Doping Organizations, etc.). These rules and regulations will be developed on the basis of the Code, incorporating the latest best practice models and all necessary details (including references to International Standards) necessary for the effective implementation of an anti-doping program.
These model rules and regulations will contain alternatives from which parties can choose. Some may prefer to accept these rules and regulations as is. Others may decide to modify them. At the same time, the founders can develop their own rules and regulations in accordance with general principles and certain requirements of the Code.
Other model documents or guidance for specific areas of anti-doping work may be developed in accordance with the wishes and needs of interested parties. These may include models for national anti-doping programs, results management, testing, (beyond the specific requirements published in the International Standard for Testing), educational programs etc. All best practice models will be reviewed and approved by WADA before they are included in the World Anti-Doping Program.
Fundamental rationale for the need for the World Anti-Doping Code
Anti-doping programs are designed to preserve what is truly important and valuable to sport, which is often called the “spirit of sport” and which is the essence of the Olympic movement. This is what drives our commitment to fair play. The spirit of sport is a celebration of the human spirit, body and mind; it is characterized by the following values.
- Ethics, justice and honesty.
- Health.
- Highest level speeches.
- Character and education.
- Pleasure and joy.
- Collectivism.
- Devotion and fidelity to obligations.
- Respect for rules and laws.
- Respect for yourself and other competition participants.
- Courage.
- Community and solidarity.
For the glory of sport and in furtherance of the fight against doping, the Code requires each Anti-Doping Organization to promote the development and implementation of educational programs for athletes, including youth, and athlete support personnel.
