Medications/Supplements - Please refer to the CCES website for more detailed information

The 2017 WADA prohibited medication list is available here. Please review if prescribed any medications and ensure you are permitted to take them. Care should be taken when using any supplements, herbal or other substances not prescribed by a physician. More info is at http://cces.ca/supplements-faq .

Athletes can find out if their medications are prohibited using the following CCES resources, all of which will be updated on January 1, 2017, to reflect the new List. 

Athletes can apply for a medical exemption if they are prescribed a prohibited medication for the treatment of an illness or condition. The CCES Medical Exemption Wizard (www.cces.ca/medical-exemptions) can help athletes find out if they need to apply for an exemption, what to include in the application, and where to submit it.
