I have a "banned substance" list from WADA from 2008 - I don't know if there's an updated version but as a lot of the guys have recommended - if you're racing at the highest levels of the amateur sport you should be aware of what you are putting down your thoat. Unfortunately I can't upload it due to a technical hitch with THE HUB web-site but an extract of prohibited substances is below. As soon as THE HUB web-site is accepting uploads I'll post it again for those who are interested... S6.
