The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has decided not to include weight-loss drugs on its list of prohibited substances for 2027. Athletes will remain permitted to use these medications, maintaining the current status quo regarding their use in competitive sports.

While the drugs are excluded from the banned list, WADA will continue to track them by keeping the substances on its monitoring list. This approach allows the agency to observe usage patterns and potential performance-enhancing effects without imposing an outright ban at this time.
