CHECK THE
ACTUAL THING.

A familiar brand name is not enough to identify a medication.

01

Identify every active ingredient.

Record country of purchase, formulation, strength and route. Brand names and formulations can differ between markets. A combination product requires an assessment of each ingredient.

02

Use the appropriate official tool.

Global DRO supports medication brands in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. Select the correct country and sport and read all conditions. For other jurisdictions or unresolved products, contact the relevant anti-doping organization.

03

Resolve conditions with the right people.

Ask your clinician and anti-doping authority about route, dose, timing, other medicines and TUE requirements. Keep the official verification reference and date.

04

Recheck when the rules or product change.

Use the edition in force for the relevant date. A forthcoming rule and a current rule must not be silently combined.

A supplement label is not a guarantee.

Global DRO does not verify supplements. Undeclared ingredients and contamination can defeat a label-only check. A result for one ingredient cannot clear a finished product. Read the official supplement-risk guidance and understand the limits of third-party testing.
