INFO FOR PADDLERS AND COACHES IN COMPETITIVE DISCIPLINES

The Prohibited List designates the substances and methods that are prohibited in sport. 

Following an extensive consultation period by WADA, the 2025 Prohibited 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 on Global DRO, and apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) if required before the updated List comes into effect on 1 January 2025. 

Please visit UK Anti-Doping's website here to read a full summary of the changes on the 2025 List. 

The following resources are also available to read on WADA’s website: 

• The full 2025 Prohibited List 
• The WADA 2025 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes 
• The 2025 Monitoring Programme which includes substances not currently on the 

List but are being monitored by WADA for potential patterns of misuse in sport.
