WADA Prohibited-Status Checker
Pick or type a peptide and see where it stands on the 2026 World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List — the class it falls under, whether it is prohibited or merely monitored, and a plain note on what that means. The table is taken straight from WADA's own 2026 List. This is a compliance reference for tested athletes, not advice on how to beat a test.
Read before you use this
This is an informational compliance tool, not anti-doping advice and not guidance on how to avoid detection. It reflects the WADA 2026 Prohibited List as published; the List is updated annually and your sport or anti-doping organization may have additional rules. A substance not appearing here is not proof it is allowed — any unapproved research substance can be prohibited under S0. Many of these peptides are also sold on a grey market with unverified contents, which is itself a documented route to a positive test. If you compete in a tested sport, always confirm against the live, official WADA Prohibited List and consult your anti-doping authority before acting.
Type a peptide above or pick one from the list to see its 2026 WADA status.
The full 2026 table
| Substance / class | Status | WADA class |
|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | Prohibited | S0 |
| TB-500 | Prohibited | S0 / S2 |
| GH-releasing peptides (GHRP family) | Prohibited | S2 |
| GHRH analogs (sermorelin / CJC-1295 / tesamorelin) | Prohibited | S2 |
| Growth hormone (hGH / somatropin) | Prohibited | S2 |
| HGH fragment 176-191 | Prohibited | S2 |
| AOD-9604 | Prohibited | S2 |
| IGF-1 / IGF-1 LR3 / mechano growth factor | Prohibited | S2 |
| Follistatin / ACE-031 (myostatin inhibitors) | Prohibited | S2 |
| Pegmolesatide (EPO mimetic) | Prohibited | S2 |
| Retatrutide | Prohibited | S0 |
| Semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy) | Monitoring Program — not banned | Monitoring Program |
| Tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound) | Monitoring Program — not banned | Monitoring Program |
How to read this. “Prohibited” means prohibited at all times on the 2026 List. S2 = peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances and mimetics. S0 = any substance with no approved human therapeutic use anywhere (which catches research-only peptides). The Monitoring Program is surveillance that sits outside the Prohibited List — substances there are NOT banned while monitored, but their status can change. This table reflects the WADA 2026 List as published; it is not personalized anti-doping advice. Always confirm against the live official List and your sport's rules.
The detail behind the status
A status badge is the short answer. How WADA classifies these peptides, what changed in 2026, and how detection actually works are the parts that matter for a tested athlete:
This checker is informational and not anti-doping advice. It reproduces the WADA 2026 Prohibited List status for a curated set of peptides and peptide-adjacent drugs and does not account for sport-specific rules, therapeutic use exemptions, product contamination, or future changes to the List. Most research peptides are not FDA-approved, are sold on the grey market with unverified purity, and are prohibited in tested sport. Always verify against the live official WADA List and your own anti-doping authority before acting.
