FEI CleanSport Database vs HIWU

The FEI’s (Fédération Equestre Internationale) Equine Prohibited Substances Database and website can be found at https://prohibitedsubstancesdatabase.feicleansport.org. For iOS users, this free application is available for download. The application features similar functionality to the website with a design made for mobile devices. iOS users can access the FEI Equine Prohibited Substances Database from the palm of their hand. The application requires that users connect to the internet through cellular or Wi-Fi network. The purpose of the FEI Prohibited Substances Database is to make a clear distinction between the use of routine, legitimate medication and deliberate and calculated doping to affect a horse’s performance; the FEI has published guidelines to assist treating and team veterinarians. Inappropriate use of substances is also a threat to the health and welfare of the horse. The purpose of this database is to help you identify prohibited substances under FEI regulations. Information such as substance definition, common usage and common trade names are available. You must be aware that the list of trade names is not exhaustive but it reflects the most common trade names in various countries. The trade names used may be different in your country. Therefore it is imperative you always use the database to check for active substances rather than trade names. Although the FEI has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within the website and mobile application is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.

The Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU) was established in 2022 by Drug Free Sport International (DFSI) to administer the rules and enforcement mechanisms of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority’s (HISA) Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program.
