Suggest a Change

All members of the equestrian community are welcome to submit a suggested change to the Equine Prohibited Substances List.

The FEI List Group 

The FEI List Group formed the ‘Equine Prohibited Substances List’ (EPSL) which is reviewed by the Group on an annual basis in response to scientific advances and information available regarding the use of substances in horses. Further information concerning the structure of the FEI List Group can be found here.

The Equine Prohibited Substances List Review Process

The List review process is carried out on an annual basis and revisions are made in response to scientific advances and information available regarding the use of substances in horses.

The FEI List Group welcomes suggestions for change from all members of the equestrian community. Submissions must be received by the FEI Veterinary Department by March each year. The List Group consider the suggestions and present the proposed changes to the National Federations. Following the consultation process with National Federations, the FEI Board approves the proposed changes.

The new EPSL is published on the Clean Sport website 90 days before it becomes effective, usually on 1 January each year. 

A summary of the review process can be accessed in the library below.
