Baking Soda Banned Substance??

Question

I drink baking soda to help prevent from getting gout. I am wondering is baking soda a banned substance with the IOC or other sports organizations?

Answer 1

Best place to check is here, the WADA (World Anti Doping Assoc)
http://www.wada-ama.org
It has the prohibited list which is quite long 11 pages for 2006 updated every year.
check the make up/ingredients of what you are taking because the product in a whole may not be banned but partiular ingredients in it may make it be banned
