The Major Changes

S0. Non-approved Substances

BPC-157
Body Protecting Compound-157 (BPC-157) has now been listed as a prohibited substance. Athletes should remain vigilant for any supplements that market BPC-157 as it is not approved for human consumption.

S3. Beta-2 Agonists

Salbutamol
The daily dosing time intervals of inhaled salbutamol have been modified. Permitted doses of salbutamol will now be 600 micrograms over any 8-hour period.
The total permitted daily dose (1,600 micrograms over 24-hours) remains unchanged. If an athlete exceeds the permitted doses, a TUE will be required.

S9. Glucocorticoids

Local injections have been added as prohibited routes of administration in-competition.

For clarification:
oral, rectal, intramuscular and intravenous routes remain prohibited
inhaled, intranasal, and dermal routes remain permitted
