The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Prohibited List for 2023 – which will come into effect on 1 January 2023 – has been published with a summary of the major modifications from the 2022 list.
The FEI recommends that riders who use regular medication/medical treatments should recheck it against the 2023 list. In case riders use a medication/treatment that has changed status and is now prohibited, athletes should apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) where necessary. Athletes should run this check with the help of their team doctor, physician and/or their National /Regional Anti-Doping Organisation. Additionally, athlete support personnel should ensure they are familiar with the 2023 list and its changes.
Athletes and athlete support personnel should keep in mind that:
- Over-the-counter medication and supplements may contain prohibited substances;
- Supplements may contain prohibited substances that are not declared in the ingredients list on the label. They may also be contaminated with prohibited substances during the manufacturing process.
