Evidence and concerns

What if I compete in sport?

Put sport rules into the conversation before treatment. Ask the organisation that governs your competition about its process.

Ipamorelin is named on the world list

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s 2026 list prohibits ipamorelin both during competition and outside competition.

The 2027 list keeps that entry and takes effect on January 1, 2027.

These list details were checked as of October 1, 2026.

A prescription is not the exemption process

USADA describes a therapeutic use exemption for an athlete who needs a prohibited medicine for an illness.

USADA is the US Anti-Doping Agency. Ask the sport authority which rules apply to you and whether an exemption process is relevant.

Ask before making treatment plans. Do not assume you have permission just because a doctor discusses a product.
