The list is organised into categories. Two are especially relevant to peptides. S2 covers peptide hormones, growth factors and related substances: growth hormone, its fragments and releasing factors (GHRH analogues, GHRPs and ghrelin mimetics), IGF-1 and its analogues, among others. S0 covers substances not approved for therapeutic use by any health authority, and WADA has explicitly named compounds such as BPC-157 in it.
Both categories are prohibited at all times, in and out of competition. The list is reviewed annually and the version in force is the one WADA publishes for each year.
The “research use only” label does not change that situation: what determines the prohibition is the substance, not how it is sold.
Anyone subject to anti-doping testing should check WADA's current list. Research material, moreover, is not intended for use in people.
