What happened to injections being prohibited?

That's a cycling thing after MPCC adopted it and UCI then picked it up. It's also a thing games-wide at the Olympics since 2012, but that doesn't seem to extend to the time outside of the actual Olympiad for track and field.

It's prohibited according to WADA:

It's prohibited according to WADA:

"not prohibited...if they do not exceed 100 mL per 12 hour period" (your source)

Farah's injection was less, also less than the 50ml per 6-hours in the 2014 code.
