Prohibited substances for competitions?

[Jeffery]

I live in ontario canada, joining the Ontario weightlifting Association so i can compete with my wieghtlifting club (olympic style lifts) just wondering if anyone knows prohibited substances or where i can get a list(aside from obvious anabolic steroids). ive searched around on some sites and cant find a list, ive sent emails with no repsonse. im refering to things like l glutimine, creatine, i heard some stimulants are prohibited, cough syrups?

Go to the The official website of the International Powerlifting Federation click on the anti doping heading on the left side then scroll down and click on the prohibited list 2007. I think it is 11 pages long. Your association should be goverened by a larger body and they might have their own list but this should give you an idea.

Each individual organization/federation is going to have different testing regulations. I do not believe any fed. has a problem with glutamine or creatine, even if it is a "raw" fed. because you can find these things naturally in various food products.

WADA has a good list available on their site which most organisations copy.

Glutamine is definatly fine creatine should be and most stimulants in cough syrups etc are now allowed but check to make sure
