Prof David Mottram, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moore鈥檚 University, will provide an insight into the world of doping in sport and detail the anti-doping rules and regulations that are in place to combat this threat. The international rules and regulations for the management of doping in sport, based on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), will be explained. This will include a brief overview of the list of prohibited substances and methods, which are reviewed and updated annually following a comprehensive review. The 2016 list has been in effect since 1 January 2016 and forms part of the foundation of the World Anti-Doping Code. Moving on, the systems in place for testing and sanctioning athletes will be illustrated and finally, the evidence for the extent of drug misuse in sport will be explored with a view to what the future may hold.
