The Anti-Doping Unit of the Irish Sports Council runs the Irish Anti-Doping Programme. This application assists athletes to check the status of their medication, purchased in the Republic of Ireland, against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. WADA issues a Prohibited List, a List of Prohibited Substances and Methods, that designates what is prohibited in- and out-of-competition. The List also indicates whether particular substances are banned in particular sports.
