USADA would like to remind all athletes that the 2017 WADA Prohibited List went into effect on January 1, 2017. Please note that the 2017 WADA Prohibited List does include changes from the previous year, so we strongly encourage athletes and their support personnel to take a moment to review the updated 2017 WADA Prohibited List and utilize the following resources to better understand how specific changes may impact them. Remember, the athlete is solely responsible for any substance they use, regardless of the route of administration. Athlete support personnel, like coaches, parents, and medical staff should also be familiar with the annual Prohibited List updates to help protect the clean athletes they support.
