NCAA testing and NO Shotgun

[pamilitiaman]

I just got into lifting with N0 Shotgun and Muscle milk collegiate. I know I'm ok with the milk, but not so sure about the shotgun... NCAA are crazy about this stuff these days. Just wanted to see if anyone knows about no shotgun and whether or not it is legal. Also, if it is illegal, how would I flush it out?
Thanks

i dont know the rules, but i dont think there is anything illegal in there i see creatine, glutamine, amino acids. But if its a high dose of caffeine that could make you fail the test since they test for caffeine.

THEY TEST FOR CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!! Bullsh*t. wow I did not know that. I take 200mg pills 2 times aday

Only if it's in ridiculous amounts. You don't get tested in the offseason anyway, so it shouldn't matter.

It should be legal and I have never heard of the NCAA testing for this kind of stuff. Im not sure how you would test for amino acids and caffeine except with a super expensive blood test.

They do test for caffeine, but only some absurd level. As in like ABSURD. if ur taking 200 mg a day b4 workouts and stuff, its cool.

If you really are a professional player I am certain your trainer can give you much more accurate advice about rugby regulations in France than random people on a weightlifting website in the US can.

I'm from Canada not sure how NCAA is, but I know as athletes for our University and College sports we simply follow the IOC and WADA anti-doping lists. Caffeine in excessive amounts can cause you to test positive IN COMPETITION.

Shotgun should be alright, I've looked into some of the major supplements and companines because I am a national tested athlete. To be extra careful simply don't consume it within 24 hours of playing in your games, and as little as possible for workouts. Likewise, you can call the manufacturer and ask them if they can guarantee the product is free of substances that MAY appear on the WADA list. If they cannot, then discontinue use of the products.

Some of the supplement companies that have preworkouts that are allowed under the WADA code are:

BSN
MusclePharm
Vega Nutrition

There are others as well but these ones all have been certified by the NSF (National Sports Federation) for safe consumption for athletes. You can find a full listing of the allowed products and brands online at your national website for ethics in sports (For me it is the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports.

Best of luck!!
