The 2017 Prohibited List is now in force.
Points to note:
• There are very few changes likely to impact on athletes use of common medicines.
• The associated summary of modifications document is the easiest way to check for changes.
• In all cases athletes must insist that anyone prescribing or administering medications check against the current Prohibited List but also take into account any change from the 2016 List to the 2017 List..
• There are additional guidelines regarding the use of inhaled salbutamol, formoterol and salmeterol. Remember that there are restrictions on the use of these inhalers and you should discuss this with your doctor.
• There are no changes to the List with regard to the use of Glucocorticoids (those proposed in the consultation version were not accepted).
• Be careful when being prescribed antibiotics that the drug Probenecid is not also administered. This drug requires a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) in advance for national level athletes but retro-active application is necessary for others if tested.
