THE AFL will go "above and beyond" the WADA code in creating and setting up its own list of sports science policies.Using the learnings of the Essendon supplement saga, the League will introduce its own list of banned substances that go beyond WADA guidelines.The treatment of players will also be put under the microscope, with club doctors expected to sign off on all forms of medical happenings.Clubs will also need to keep a dedicated register detailing all forms of treatment, which must be made available to the AFL when asked.The League will clamp down on how injections are administered with the club doctor the only person in charge of keeping needles.Under the strict guidelines, injections may only be used for medical treatments.The proposed changes were made in consultation with the clubs, the AFL Medical Officer Association, the AFL Physiotherapist Association, the AFL Sports Scientists Association and the AFLPA.They were then presented to club CEOs and club presidents.Under the recently introduced 'whistle-blower' service, clubs will also need to alert the AFL to any potential breaches of its code.Similarly, clubs will need to disclose known associates and employees as the League continues to attempt to strengthen the integrity of the code.Some other key information:• The AFL does not want clubs to pursue a pharmacological advantage over one another or test the limits of the WADA prohibited list.• The AFL will establish two lists with respect to treatments – an AFL Prohibited Treatment List and a Controlled Treatments List• AFL Prohibited Treatments may not be used at any time.• Controlled treatments are expected to include use of supplements, hyperbaric chambers and medical and pharmacological interventions related to football preparation or performance.• Any person using, in possession of or administering an AFL Prohibited Treatment, or using an AFL Prohibited Provider will be subject to a sanction.
