Alkohol

Erklärung der Welt Anti-Doping Agentur (WADA) zu der Entscheidung, Alkohol von der Verbotsliste zu nehmen:
"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 (IF) affected by this change have been alerted sufficiently in advance in order to amend their rules and to put in place protocols to test for alcohol use and appropriately sanction athletes who do not abide by the rules of their sport. Control of the process will allow IF more flexibility in applying rules or thresholds as they see fit. The National Anti-Doping Organizations are no longer obliged to conduct tests but may assist IF and National Federations where appropriate."

Bis Ende 2017 war Alkohol in verschiedenen Sportarten auf der WADA Verbotsliste ausgewiesen.
