The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) reminds the Canadian sport community that the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) 2020 Prohibited List came into effect January 1, 2020.

The 2020 Prohibited List and the Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes, which contains an exhaustive list of changes, are available on WADA's website. As always, athletes are cautioned to exercise a high degree of care with regards to the use of medications, supplements and sport nutrition products.

These resources now reflect the 2020 List:

• Global DRO
• Email: substances@cces.ca
• Info Line: 1-800-672-7775

Athletes who require a prohibited medication should verify their medical exemption requirements in the Medical Exemption Wizard.

The Prohibited List is an international standard identifying substances and methods that are prohibited in sport. The International Olympic Committee first published it in 1963. Since 2004, WADA has been responsible for the preparation and publication of the List, which it updates every year.
