What is the intention behind highlighting banned and controlled medication substances within the List?
A. The intention is for complete transparency so that athletes and their advisers will know which type of substance is in which category of the list, and what can and cannot be used. Thereby any required enforcement sanctions can be applied appropriately with the knowledge that there is complete clarity as to the agreed FEI view on a substance that has been detected. Clearly the sanctions available for the detection of a banned substance will in most situations be more severe than for a controlled medication substance, but the sanctions for using controlled medication substances could still be up to 2 years.
