The WADA website also contains extensive material as to the international testing system. Most important is the Prohibited List which lists the substances and methods which are prohibited in sport.
It is the athlete’s responsibility to ensure that any medication they use is not on the Prohibited List. A tool to check on this is Global.DRO.
If an athlete genuinely needs to take a medication which is on the Prohibited List they can lodge a Therapeatic Use Exemption (TUE) application to possibly gain approval for that use. This is explained further at the SIA TUE page.
Quite often supplements are contaminated and it is the athlete’s responsibility to be aware of what they are consuming and to avoid an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation.
