Even if an athlete tests positive for doping after taking medication received from their team or doctor without checking, they may still be suspended for a certain period for doping violations.
Athletes must check whether any medications are safe before taking them.
3 ways to check
- Compare the ingredients with the International Prohibited List published by WADA/JADA.
- Use Global DRO to check for prohibited substances.
- Use DINKS to check for prohibited substances.
Method ① is a very difficult method that requires specialized skills.
Methods ② and ③ involve using a search tool to check whether a product contains prohibited substances.
Since you can search simply by entering the ingredient name, product name, or manufacturer name, it's an even easier way to check.
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but by considering both and deciding whether to take medication, you can more reliably prevent accidental doping.
