The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recently released the 2025 Prohibited List (the List), which details the substances and methods that are banned within sport. Broken down into several categories, the List identifies which substances and methods are prohibited at all times, in-competition only, and within specific sports
Following an extensive consultation period by WADA, the 2025 List was published on 25 September 2024. This gives athletes and support personnel sufficient time to make themselves aware of the changes, review any medications they use, and apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) if required before the updated List comes into effect on 1 January 2025.
The below sections summarise the major changes to the List for 2025. Please consult the 2025 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes for the full list of modifications.
