- mesocarb
- pentylentetrazol
- pipradol
- salbutamol & terbutaline (are permitted by inhaler only and must be declared to the
relevant medical authority.)
NOTE: All imidazole preparations are acceptable for topical use, e.g. oxymetazoline.
Vasoconstrictors (e.g. adrenaline) may be administered with local anesthetic agents. Topical
preparations (e.g. nasal, ophthalmologic) of Phenylephrine are permitted.
B. Narcotic analgesics
- dextromoramide
- dextropropoxyphene
- diamorphine

C. Anabolic agents
The Anabolic class includes anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and Beta-2 Agonists.
1.Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS)

... and related substances
Note: The administration of testosterone is banned. The presence of a testosterone (T) to
epitestosterone (E) ratio greater than six (6) to one (1) in the urine of a competitor constitutes
an offense unless there is evidence that this ratio is due to a physiological or pathological
condition, e.g. low epitestosterone excretion, androgen production by tumor, enzyme
deficiencies.

2.Corticotropin (ACTH)
3.Growth hormone (HGH, somatropin)
4.Erythrorpoietin (EPO)
… and related substances
II. METHODS
A. Blood doping
B. Pharmacological, chemical and physical manipulation
( The responsible authorities ban the use of substances and of methods that alter the integrity
and validity of urine samples used in doping controls. Examples of banned methods are
catheterization, urine substitution and/or tampering, inhibition of renal excretion. e.g. by
probenecid and related compounds, and epitestosterone administration.)
III. CLASSES OF DRUGS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS
C. Local anesthetics
Injectable local anesthetics are permitted under the following conditions:

administration must be submitted immediately in writing to the relevant medical authority.
