IWBF’s anti-doping section provides you with an overview of IWBF’s anti-doping efforts and provides you with important information related to anti-doping. Please carefully read through the different sections and reach out to IWBF in case you have any questions or concerns.
Please note that the 2024 WADA Prohibited List entered into force on 1 January 2024.
WADA offers a wide range of courses for athletes and athlete support personnel to educate themselves on anti-doping matters. You can find an overview of the courses on the Anti-Doping Education and Learning Platform (ADeL).
IWBF wishes to remind you that even though Cannabis consumption may be legal in your country, the Prohibited List is still applicable and binding for anyone competing in IWBF competitions. Furthermore, please note that Cannabidiol (CBD) products may contain traces of the prohibited substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Consequently, we encourage players to be cautious with the consumption of CBD products as it may give rise to Adverse Analytical Findings (AAF) for THC and, even in trace amounts the use of THC is prohibited during the In-Competition period. Moreover, these substances are often not well-regulated and may contain substances in different amounts than those shown on the label or even other prohibited natural or synthetic cannabinoids, raising the risk of an unexpected AAF.
Do you have questions in relation to your national Anti-Doping program? Would you like to obtain information in your mother tongue?
