MONTREAL -- The World Anti-Doping Agency has released its 2017 list of prohibited substances for athletes, adding a drug used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and eating disorders to its catalog of banned stimulants.The substance, known chemically as lisdexamfetamine, is part of a family of drugs that stimulate the central nervous system.Other substances used to treat ADHD, including methylphenidate, were already on WADAs prohibited list as specified stimulants, meaning they cant be used by athletes without a prior therapeutic use exemption.Nicomorphine, an opioid analgesic drug available in parts of Europe and which is converted to morphine following administration, was added to the list of banned narcotics.WADA noted in the list it released early Friday that it was putting Codeine on its monitoring program so that researchers could establish patterns of use for possible performance-enhancement.All athletes around the world are held to these standards and there can be no tolerance for people who intentionally break the rules, WADA President Craig Reedie said in a statement. Updated annually, the list is released three months ahead of taking effect so that all stakeholders -- in particular athletes and their entourage -- have ample time to familiarize themselves with the list and its modifications.The most-discussed addition in 2016 remained on the prohibited substance list for next year.Meldonium was added to the list from last Jan. 1 and resulted in a two-year ban for Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova, who was among hundreds of athletes who tested positive at the start of the year in results that forced WADA to conduct more research on the substance and extend no fault findings to athletes who tested positive for low concentrations of the drug.Sharapova tested positive for the endurance-boosting drug at the Australian Open in Melbourne in January and is appealing her ban.The Latvian-made drug was used in parts of eastern Europe to treat heart conditions but was not approved for use in the United States. It increases blood flow, which improves exercise capacity by carrying more oxygen to the muscles. There is significant debate among doping experts over whether meldonium, also known as mildronate, actually enhances performance.WADA director general Olivier Niggli said the latest list was published after nine months of reviews.Experts examine such sources as: scientific and medical research; trends; and, intelligence gathered from law enforcement and pharmaceutical companies in order to stay ahead of those that wish to cheat, Niggli said. It is vital that all athletes take the necessary time to consult the list; and that they contact their respective anti-doping organizations if they have any doubts as to the status of a substance or method.Online: https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/...7-eng-final.pdf Jayson Williams Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

The Wallabies insist last years World Cup final heartbreak has no role as they look to catch the All Blacks on the hop in Saturday nights Rugby Championship opener in Sydney.Backline ace Israel Folau - who played the entire World Cup hampered by an ankle injury - says Australias 34-17 loss to New Zealand at Twickenham last October is history to the Wallabies and they are not casting back to it for motivation.I mean, for us, thats in the past and as a team everyones just looking forward to the weekend, Folau said on Tuesday.Ive said in the past that I was a little bit frustrated obviously because of injury during that World Cup.I havent even thought about it at all that much, to be honest. Its been an enjoyable year for myself and I look forward again to the weekend.Its very exciting.After undergoing off-season ankle surgery, Folau returned to his brilliant best following his move to outside centre for the NSW Waratahs, topping the Super Rugby tryscorers list and featuring in the top three for line breaks and tackle busts.But the dual John Eales Medallist insists he still doesnt kknow if hell run out onto ANZ Stadium at fullback or in the No.dddddddddddd13 jumper, with coach Michael Cheika not due to name his match-day 23 until Thursday.Cheik likes to keep us on our toes, which is a good thing. The guys are training really hard and fighting for those positions, Folau said. Nor is it clear what game style the Wallabies will apply as they bid to regain the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002.While playmaker Bernard Foley said the Wallabies planned to employ more tactical kicking after being too predictable during their 3-0 series loss to England, Cheika has shot that theory down.As a team, we dont want to change too much. We like the way were playing at the moment, that attacking style but also just being smart at the same time, Folau said.So thats up to us as players across the board to read that during a game and whats best to us at the time.You dont want to go into a game pre-planning anything or being too structured.
