Drug use

All I found this quick search engine online to confirm or not if any substance your taking is a banned or not:

Same here Carl, I take a prescription nasal spray which contains a substance which would be banned if it wasn't taken in either a nasal spray or inhaler (much like Asthma drugs). This web tool they have produced is a really fast way to check em off. In the past it meant trawling through WADA lists and documents and trying to understand methods of use, the family or type of drug and all that stuff. Still worth pointing out however that for quite a few of these substances taken by inhaler or nasal spray there seems to still be a theoretical risk of failing a doping test, ISTR reading somewhere that something like 16 to 20 puffs of inhaler could do it but don't quote me on that!

That is a good example as you can buy Sudafed (Pseudoephedrine) over the counter, its on the banned list:

ISTR there was a famous/infamous case in the past of an Athelete at the Olympics failing a doping control for Pseudoephedrine in which he claimed he took a decongestant.
