Changes for 2024
Licence changes
Unfortunately due to insurance changes only SACU and ACU Licences will be accepted at events. Licences from other federation will no longer be accepted i.e IOPD, AMCA. One day licences will be available at events.
2024 Prohitibed List and Tramadol Ban
A key change this year is that from 1 January 2024, Tramadol will be prohibited in-competition. Any athlete found to be using tramadol in-competition faces the prospect of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation and a ban from sport. UKAD has released some initial information around tramadol which can be found here https://www.ukad.org.uk/news/reminder-about-status-tramadol-2024-wada-prohibited-list
As part of the Assurance Framework (requirement 17a), all NGBs are required to advise Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel on the performance pathway of the changes to the Prohibited List. This is particularly important this year given the addition of tramadol and its known use for pain relief in the UK.
