It ' s sad that feeling are dominating rights right now . Edit poor choice of verb . <| sep |> I jest don ' t shoot <| sep |> I surprisingly just saw one on the SA forum . I guess rare acts of sexual benevolence do exist . <| sep |> Other organizations allow their athletes to appeal based on the substance . For instance , UEFA overruled WADA when it came to the suspension of Mamadou Sakho because he demonstrated that there was no robust evidence that it should even be banned . WADA of course kept it on their banned substance list regardless . That ' s because WADA does not believe it has any obligation to prove a substance enhances performance or is a danger to athlete health in order to ban it . WADA believes it has the authority to ban any drug , for any reason , and is above challenge . The UFCUSADA antidoping policy unfortunately agrees with this , and has a clause lifted from the WADA code clause 4 . 3 stating that athletes may not challenge a substances inclusion on the prohibited list . The meldonium scandal is a great example of how messed up WADA ' s process is . Meldonium was on the monitoring list for a year . On average , one new substance gets added to the monitoring list per year , which means it should be easy to fully research that substance before banning it . When WADA decided to ban meldonium a year later , not only did they not have evidence it enhanced performance , they didn ' t even have any evidence about how long it took to be excreted , which meant they had no idea if the people with positive tests had taken it before or after it was banned ! WADA is not a scienceled organization , and it ' s only a matter of time before it ' s exposed in a major way .
