FIA Launches Prohibited List ProjectThe FIA has launched its Prohibited List Project as part of the FIA's “Race True” Anti-Doping Campaign. The project got underway at the end of May, with the F1 GP of Monaco and will continue until the end of the year, including in the CIK-FIA Karting Championship, Cup and Trophy events. It is worth noting some of the things the FIA reminds competitors:
After a win in Germany last, year 13-year old Polish karter, Igor Walilko, was given a two year ban from competition after testing positive for nikethamide - a stimulant which affects the respiratory system and is legally available over the counter in some European countries as a sugar-based lozenge (Walilko is currently appealing the verdict). A longer term doping prevention project will be launched by the FIA next month. It will incorporate an anti-doping e-learning course and quiz for the attention of drivers and anybody else who is keen to know more about anti-doping in competitive sport. More about the Race True anti-doping campaign and links to various lists and documents (including the Prohibited Substances list) on the FIA website HERE. |
