“The tests cover performance-enhancing substances including an extensive range of anabolic steroids, amphetamines, recreational drugs and even ‘blocking’ agencies aimed at concealing the use of banned substances.

“Potential competitors using medication for health purposes or are interested in knowing which are banned should consult WADA PROHIBITED LIST on the Internet.

“Congratulations to IHGF athletes for maintaining high ethical standards and still producing good performances.”
