The World Anti-Doping Agency's updated regulations, effective January 1, introduce stricter controls on Salmeterol, ban non-diagnostic carbon.
Key Points
- Salmeterol (asthma drug) now under stricter controls.
- Non-diagnostic carbon monoxide use prohibited.
- Bans on cellular components: mitochondria and ribosomes.
- Expanded monitoring program for better oversight.
The World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) updated list of prohibited substances and methods took effect on 1 January, following its publication in Andorra's Official Bulletin of the Principality (BOPA).
Approved by WADA's executive committee on 11 September, the new regulations introduce several key changes. Among them, the asthma medication Salmeterol now faces stricter controls. The list also bans the non-diagnostic use of carbon monoxide.
Additional updates target the use of cellular components, including mitochondria and ribosomes. The monitoring programme has been expanded to enhance oversight.
These measures aim to refine anti-doping standards across sports, with Andorra aligning its rules to the international framework. Local authorities have not provided further details on implementation specifics at this stage.
