WADA Prohibited List 2026

Dear All,

We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to clean and fair sport, we are writing to inform you about the 2026 WADA Prohibited List, which will come into effect from 1 January 2026.

The Prohibited List includes substances and methods that are not allowed in sports. It is an essential tool to protect athletes’ health, ensure fair competition, and maintain the integrity of sport.

It is important that all stakeholders including athletes, coaches, medical staff, and officials are aware of the updates in this edition. WADA has revised the list to reflect the latest scientific developments and emerging trends in doping.

The 2026 Prohibited List can be accessed on the WADA website and on NADA India’s website at https://nadaindia.yas.gov.in/. The 2026 Prohibited List is also attached along with this mail and the major modifications for 2026 as Annexure 1. Please take the time to go through it carefully to avoid any inadvertent violations.

We would also like to remind you about the Know Your Medicine (KYM) application, which allows athletes, coaches, and support personnel to quickly check if any medications contain prohibited substances. The app is available on both Android and iOS devices, and can also be accessed via the NADA India website. We strongly encourage everyone to make full use of this tool to ensure compliance and safe participation in sport.

At NADA India, we remain dedicated to promoting clean and fair sport while supporting athletes in achieving excellence. Your active cooperation in following these guidelines is important to uphold the highest standards of integrity and sportsmanship. For any questions or further information, please feel free to contact us at info.nada@nic.in.

Thank you for your support and commitment.
