The Prohibited List

It is your responsability to know which substances and methods are in the prohibited list.
What is the diference between always prohibited substances and those that are only prohibited during competitions?

Always prohibited means that these substances are prohibited the whole year, even during training and also outside of the competition. For example: anabolic steroids that when used may have effects to improve the performance of athletes more than that obtained with training, or masked agents that can be used to hide things during doping controls.

In the other hand, the use of a prohibited substance outside of competition is not considered an infraction of anti-doping rules, unless there is evidence of said substance during the competition. To make it clear, many substances can remain in the body for a long time. If a positive result is obtained outside of competition (That wasn’t prohibited when used) and also obtained a positive result in competition for this same substance (in which is prohibited), you will get acussed of breaking anti-doping rules.
