Dear Colleagues,
WADA has confirmed an amendment to Section S2.1 of the 2014 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) activators Xenon and Argon will be added to the 2014 Prohibited List, after the recommendation was made and approved by WADA’s Executive Committee during its May meeting.
Having recently been alerted to the substance of Xenon and its potential performance enhancing characteristics, the WADA List Committee discussed the matter during its April meeting and recommended namely adding the two noble gases – Xenon and argon – on the Prohibited List.
The change will be effective following the required three-month notice period, and once UNESCO has appropriately communicated the amendment to all States Parties. The revised 2014 Prohibited List will take effect on September 1, 2014.
The change to the List reads as follows:
S2. PEPTIDE HORMONES, GROWTH FACTORS AND RELATED SUBSTANCES
The following substances, and other substances with similar chemical structure or similar biological effect(s), are prohibited:
1. Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents [e.g. erythropoietin (EPO), darbepoetin (dEPO), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilizers and activators (e.g. xenon, argon), methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (CERA), peginesatide (Hematide)].
The revised 2014 Prohibited List can be found on WADA’s website.
Best regards,
World Anti-Doping Agency
Chers collègues,
L’AMA a confirmé la modification faite à la section S.2.1 de la Liste 2014 des substances et méthodes interdites.
Les activateurs de facteurs inductibles par l’hypoxie (HIF), le xénon et l’argon, seront ajoutés à la Liste des interdictions 2014. Cette décision fait suite à une recommandation du Comité exécutif, approuvée à sa réunion de mai.
Récemment alerté par les propriétés du xénon et ses effets potentiels sur l’amélioration de la performance sportive, le Comité Liste de l’AMA s’est penché sur cette substance lors de sa réunion en avril et a recommandé à l’AMA d’ajouter ces deux gaz nobles – le xénon et l’argon – à la Liste des interdictions.
Ce changement entrera en vigueur trois mois après que l’UNESCO aura dûment notifié tous les États parties. La version révisée de la Liste 2014 entrera en vigueur le 1er septembre 2014.
La modification est libellée comme suit :
S2. HORMONES PEPTIDIQUES, FACTEURS DE CROISSANCE ET SUBSTANCES APPARENTÉES
Les substances qui suivent, et les autres substances possédant une structure chimique similaire ou un (des) effet(s) biologique(s) similaire(s), sont interdites :
1. Agents stimulants de l’érythropoïèse [par ex. érythropoïétine (EPO), darbépoétine (dEPO), stabilisateurs et activateurs de facteurs inductibles par l’hypoxie (HIF) (par ex. xénon et argon); méthoxy polyéthylène glycol-époétine béta (CERA), péginesatide (Hématide)].
La version révisée de la Liste 2014 est disponible sur le site web de l’AMA.
