PROHIBITED LIST

We strongly encourage athletes to ensure that they are acutely aware of the most recent banned lists both here in Australia and around the world. 

The 2023 Prohibited List is available on WADA’s website

All relevant organisations and people involved with cycling including AusCycling, athletes, team managers, medical officials and other support persons MUST be aware of the Prohibited List updates.

It is the responsibility of the athletes to check the status of any medication or substance prior to use. 

For further information on WADA lists and other policies visit the WADA website.

 

SUPPLEMENTS POLICY

Supplements are not fully regulated in Australia and there is a risk that some supplements may contain ingredients or impurities that could cause a positive test result. It is impossible to guarantee the safety of these products and the athlete remains ultimately responsible for any and all substances that they consume (or supply).

In support of AusCycling's supplements policy, we have a dedicated Supplements Committee consisting of: David Hayes, Jill Leckey, Dr Mark Fisher, Anne Gripper, Louise Burke. 

 

CHECK SUBSTANCES ONLINE

You can now easily check the status of a substance online by going to check the substance on the Sport Integrity Australia website, or by calling 1300 027 232.
