The WADA Prohibited List and Methods 2023 has been published and is available on the BWF website (linked here). This will come into force on 1 January 2023.

The Prohibited List is updated every year and it comes into effect on 1 January each year. This list details the substances and methods which are prohibited for athletes. Substances and methods are classified by categories in the list, for example – steroids, stimulants, masking agents.

Some substances and methods are prohibited in-competition, and others are prohibited at all times, both in-competition and out-of-competition. Some substances are prohibited for particular sports.

Athletes are responsible for everything they eat, drink and take. This is “known as strict liability”.

Please forward this information to your players, coaches and team managers.
