    ACE-031

    WADA: Prohibited in sport

    Treated as prohibited under WADA.

    Listed on the Prohibited List or treated as prohibited under the S0 non-approved substances category. Strict liability applies: an adverse analytical finding does not require intent. Do not use without explicit anti-doping advice; in most cases the answer will be 'do not use'.

    UK summary: Discontinued investigational compound. Acceleron Pharma stopped development of ACE-031 in 2013 after safety signals. Not a licensed UK medicine; not currently in active clinical development. Prohibited under WADA S1.2 / S4.

    Questions for a sports-medicine clinician or UKAD-aware advisor

    These are starter questions you can adapt for a GP, specialist, pharmacist, or anti-doping advisor. The aim is to help you have a better-informed conversation — not to replace one.

    • Is this compound on the current WADA Prohibited List, or does it fall under S0?
    • Are there licensed alternatives for the underlying issue?
    • If I'm prescribed a medicine that is on the Prohibited List, do I need a TUE?
    • What in-competition vs out-of-competition rules apply for my sport?
    • What contamination risk does an unlicensed peptide introduce for me?
    • If I am tested, what supply-chain evidence should I keep?
