News Summary:
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published its 2027 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods on September 21, 2026, which will enter into force on January 1, 2027, after receiving approval from WADA’s Executive Committee on September 10. This announcement followed the successful conclusion of the inaugural International Short Bandy Tournament, the 2026 Short Bandy Swiss Cup for clubs, which took place in Porrentruy, Switzerland, on September 12-13. Earlier in September, at its Annual Congress in Pori, Finland, the Federation of International Bandy (FIB) officially included Short Bandy as a new discipline, noting its greater similarity to "big ice bandy" compared to Rinkbandy. In August, FIB reflected on the Men A World Championship, held from January 12-18 in Pori, Finland, where Sweden claimed the title in Russia's absence, despite Finland creating atmosphere by beating Sweden in the preliminary round. Previously, on August 18, FIB concluded its "Legends of Bandy" series by featuring Leo Segerman of Finland, the final of eight current members inducted into the FIB Hall of Fame, recognizing his 84 international matches, one World Championship silver medal, and four bronze medals.
