2025 Prohibited List Updates

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published the 2025 Prohibited List, which includes key changes to banned substances and methods. It is essential for all athletes, regardless of their level, to be aware of these updates and ensure they comply with anti-doping regulations.

As part of our commitment to clean sport and in accordance with the Assurance Framework, basketballscotland encourages all athletes, including those outside the elite or professional pathways, to familiarise themselves with the 2025 Prohibited List. This will help ensure they do not inadvertently violate anti-doping rules.

To assist in this, UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has developed a comprehensive range of resources, including:

• Template communications for athletes and support personnel (via email or WhatsApp),
• Social media content to raise awareness,
• A video script for social platforms, and
• A template website article.
