WADA Prohibited List
Also known as: wada · banned substance · doping
The World Anti-Doping Agency’s annually updated list of substances prohibited in sport.
In plain terms
Growth hormone secretagogues, GHRH analogs, and numerous peptide hormones appear on the list, generally prohibited at all times, in and out of competition. "Research peptide" status offers no protection whatsoever from a positive test.
Guides that use this term
BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295 and ipamorelin: what the FDA has actually published about each, why “removed from Category 2” does not mean cleared, and what is still unlawful to compound.
TB-500 is a fragment of thymosin beta-4, and the human trials people cite for it were run on the full-length protein. Here is what each has actually been shown to do.
Anti-doping panels detect peptide hormones and secretagogues; standard workplace panels generally do not screen for them. Legality, detectability, and prohibition are three separate questions.
