I often get asked why some drugs are banned in sport and others aren’t. Here’s a quick run down and an update on the World Anti Doping Agency Prohibited List 2018.

The Three Tests

Is the drug:

Potentially performance enhancing?
A health risk for athletes?
Against the ‘spirit of sport’?

If a drug fails two of these three tests it should be banned.

Nice and clear communication from the NHS app. Maybe my garden is medium but indoors is high? As far as I can see all of S8 is under the High alert restrictions.

Morning! So #Sheffield wakes up in tier 2 but we're already being warned tier 3 is on the way. Please do your bit even if you're angry, scared, fed-up or all of them. Amidst all the mixed messages listen to @felly500 He's doing an incredible job for us but can't do it alone.
