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.
