So what are the banned substances?

As you can see in subsection 2 article f, the NSAC clearly defers to the WADA to provide the definitive prohibited substance list.


Here is a direct link to that list.

That's a lot of stuff, I had no idea the WADA listed so much stuff.

So that leads to the next logical question how does the WADA determine how to check for banned substances?

An exhaustive list on testing criteria is listed here:
http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/Wo...ng_2009_EN.pdf

Reasons for testing includes:

from 4.4.2

reason e) Behaviour indicating doping
reason f) Sudden major improvements in performance
reason m) Financial incentives such as prize money, or sponsorship opportunities.

You can make the argument that this applies to most of if not all major prize fighters at some point in there careers, to which I would agree.
So why not set an example with the biggest potential fight of our time?
