The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is considering adding weight loss jabs to the banned list for the 2028 Summer Olympics. WADA is monitoring the use of Semaglutide, an active ingredient in popular weight loss medications, to detect any patterns of abuse by athletes. Experts say endurance athletes could benefit the most from these drugs, but there are concerns about health risks and the pressure athletes face to take them. WADA is expected to make a decision on whether to ban these drugs by the end of the year or in 2027.
