According to WADA, via GlobalDRO.com, “None of the ingredients in this brand (Xylocaine) are currently included on the WADA Prohibited List”. This means that Xylocaine is not banned by WADA. WADA US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) Mandy Craig Sacramento, CA “Does the USADA ban Xylocaine?” The USADA has a Drug Reference line where you can contact them via telephone and specifically ask them about any drug. When I called them yesterday, I spoke directly with their telephone doctor of the day. First, I must say that it was very informative being able to talk to a USADA doctor about this drug and the potential side effects. Anyhow, the doctor said that Xylocaine is legal for boxers to take via injection into the hands. He also said that individual state athletic commissions might have additional stipulations. http://www.examiner.com/x-21442-Sacramento-Fight-Sports-Examiner~y2010m2d17-The-official-answers-on-Xylocaine-Is-it-illegal-in-the-USA-Is-it-banned-in-Boxing-Is-it-a-PED
