Banned Non-Nutritional Ergogenic Aids in Sports

Let's dive into the five major classes of non-nutritional ergogenic aids that are currently banned by both the IOC and WADA. These substances are prohibited because they can give athletes an unfair advantage and often pose serious health risks.

1. Anabolic Agents

Includes anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and other anabolic substances
Examples include testosterone, nandrolone, and stanozolol
Used to increase muscle mass and strength

Note

Anabolic agents are perhaps the most notorious of banned substances in sports, with numerous high-profile cases throughout sporting history.

2. Peptide Hormones and Growth Factors

Human Growth Hormone (hGH)
Erythropoietin (EPO)
Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)

Common Mistake

Many athletes mistakenly believe that because these substances occur naturally in the body, using synthetic versions is safer than using steroids. This is not true!

3. Beta-2 Agonists

Substances like salbutamol and clenbuterol
Originally developed for treating asthma
