A brief status is not personal clearance.

This desk records whether the current editorial review identified a WADA prohibition. Rules change, sport and jurisdiction can add requirements, and therapeutic-use questions require the relevant anti-doping organization.

Absence of a prohibition note never means permitted.

Check the current WADA Prohibited List and the rules of your governing body before making an eligibility decision.
