The use of performance enhancing substances has a history almost as long as competitive
sport itself and cheating in this manner remains an unfortunate minority activity
in today's competitions. The first list of prohibited substances was published by
the International Olympic Committee in 1967. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was
founded in 1999 to harmonize anti-doping policies across all sports and countries.
It publishes the world anti-doping code and details prohibited substances in the WADA
prohibited list.
