Prohibited in competition
WADA 2026: S6.B, specified, prohibited in competition. The future 2027 List retains this classification. [1] [2]
2026 and 2027 List, S6.B, printed pp.15–16; introductory definitions p.3 · 2026 rules apply from 1 January 2026. Any 2027 material below concerns future rules from 1 January 2027; it is not current clearance.
Poisoning and natural-source context
CDC identifies Strychnos nux-vomica as a natural source of strychnine and describes poisoning that can cause painful muscle spasms, respiratory failure and death. FDA warns that poorly controlled homeopathic products containing nux vomica can create toxic exposure. [3] [4]
- Natural or homeopathic labeling does not establish safety. These sources do not show that every highly diluted product contains a measurable toxic amount. Suspected poisoning requires emergency care.
What remains uncertain
- Educational synthesis only; not individualized medical advice, a TUE decision or a sanction prediction.
Check the sources.
These are concise editorial paraphrases of selected sources, not a systematic review or a reproduction of source tables. Access depth is shown for each reference; an abstract-only check cannot resolve details found only in a full paper.
