Tramadol Factsheet for athletes & athlete support personnel
The Factsheet advises that the washout period is now confirmed as 24 hours prior to the beginning of the in-competition period. If tramadol is used within 24 hours before the start of the in-competition period, athletes should be aware that there is a risk for their testing sample collected in-competition to return positive.

Anti-doping wallet
The IrWWF are affiliated to Sport Ireland and the IWWF. Both Organisations promote and enforce Drug Free Sport and Clean Sports for all.
As we enter the 2024 Season, it’s a great opportunity for all athletes and parents of athletes to “Brush Up” on their knowledge. Sport Ireland has a great online course (Available at https://www.sportireland.ie/anti-doping/education-zone/education-zone ) that is free to anyone. All our International athletes have completed it, and all athletes who intend to compete either at home or Internationally should do so also to enhance their understanding of Clean Sport.
The new Medicine Checker is a brilliant tool for everyone in sport so as you can check the ingredients of a drug to ensure that you won’t be in breach of recognised Anti Doping Regulations. See below from Sport Ireland.
Sport Ireland Anti-Doping Unit are delighted to announce that new medicine checker website went live in on Wednesday 11th January 2023. The website is be available via the following URL medcheck.sportireland.ie. This resource is where athletes can now check the status in sport of all medication purchased in the ROI. Remember all athletes must check the status of all medication before consumption.
So please remember that clean sports are the only way to compete.
