Alcohol

As of January 1, 2018, alcohol is no longer listed as a prohibited substance on the WADA Prohibited List

Statement from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regarding the decision to remove alcohol from the Prohibited List:
"After careful consideration and extensive consultation, alcohol was excluded from the Prohibited List. The intent of this change is not to compromise the integrity or safety of any sport where alcohol use is a concern, but rather to endorse a different means of enforcing bans on alcohol use in these sports. The four International Federations (IFs) affected by this change have been notified sufficiently in advance to amend their rules and implement protocols to test for alcohol use and appropriately sanction athletes who do not comply with the rules of their sport. Control of the process will allow IFs greater flexibility in applying rules or thresholds as they deem appropriate. National Anti-Doping Organizations are no longer required to conduct tests but may assist IFs and National Federations where appropriate."
