This page is to help our athletes understand that competing CLEAN is the only way to compete. Some drugs that athletes currently take could be banned substances on the WADA & USADA doping list. Swimmers need to know if what they take / put into their bodies is approved for competition. Swimmers can get certain medications approved by filing a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) with the USADA. It is the swimmers responsibility to know what is safe and approved.
The Global Drug Reference Online (Global DRO) provides athletes and support personnel with information about he prohibited status of specific medications based on the current World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
Global DRO does not contain information on, or that applies to, any dietary suppliments.
Visitors can search the Global DRO for specific information on products sold in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Global DRO is brought to you through a partnership between the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), Swiss Sport Integrity (SSI), UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Drug-Free Sport New Zealand (DFSNZ), the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) and Sport Integrity Australia are official Golobal DRO licensees.
