Updated FEI Equine Prohibited Substance List in Effect from 4 April 2011

The 2011 FEI Equine Prohibited Substance List comes into effect today, 4 April.

The updated List has been publicly available since the FEI General Assembly in Taipei last November when it was unanimously approved.

It is also accessible via the easily searchable FEI Equine Prohibited Substances Database, which is free to download for iPhones and Android applications.

The 2011 List will show all Prohibited Substances added to or removed from the 2010 List and Database until 4 June 2011.  

Graeme Cooke, Director of the FEI Veterinary Department, said: “The fight against doping is one that all International Federations are committed to and the FEI is working tirelessly to come up with new ways to contribute to that fight in line with the joint-recommendations produced by the commissions headed by Professor Arne Ljungqvist and Lord Stevens.

“Everyone involved in horse sport needs to be aware of the changes in the 2011 List and this crucial information is now easily accessible online and via free downloadable applications for iPhones and other mobile devices.”

As part of its ongoing Clean Sport campaign and to maintain fair play, the FEI will continue with a full range of testing, including for hypersensitisation, at major events during the season.
