Included on the List, tramadol will be prohibited in-competition from 1 January 2024
- Any athlete tested in-competition from 1 January 2024 by UKAD or another Testing Agency, may face the prospect of a ban from sport if tramadol is found in their sample
- Athletes who may be using tramadol are reminded to speak to their doctor about seeking alternative pain medication that is permitted in sport
Note For Medical Personnel: UKAD will shortly be releasing a position statement for athletes and doctors on how to comply with the new tramadol regulations. This document will include the timeframes for when an athlete should submit a TUE for the use of tramadol, the factors to consider when making such an application, and scenarios whereby a TUE is unlikely to be granted.
