Peptides and anti-doping: what tested athletes in Nepal need to know about WADA's S0 and S2 lists
→ S0 bans any substance with no health-authority approval for human use anywhere. WADA names BPC-157 here.
→ S2 covers peptide hormones and growth factors, like CJC-1295, ipamorelin, GHRPs and TB-500.
→ Both are banned at all times, in and out of competition.
→ Cream, pill or injection: USADA says the route does not change the status.
→ Strict liability: you are responsible for whatever is found in your body, whatever your intent.
📌 Save this before your next competition season.
📤 Send this to a teammate or coach who gets drug-tested.
Did you know a peptide cream can be banned too? Yes or no?
