Athletes will not be banned from using weight‑loss drugs but use will be monitored

Athletes will not be banned from using weight‑loss drugs, though the substances will remain on a monitoring list. BBC Sport reports the decision leaves the drugs subject to continued observation rather than prohibition. The placement on a monitoring list means governing bodies will track the substances' use among competitors, without imposing bans for athletes who take them. The move keeps the drugs under watch while stopping short of formal restrictions that would trigger sanctions. Officials will gather data under the monitoring process to assess patterns of use and any potential future policy changes.
