NCAA Banned Substances List

[NoNameNecessary]

I have recently seen many questions about people asking whether or not a certain substance is banned in the NCAA. Upon hearing this, and rather than answer each individuals questions, I decided to make a thread with the banned substances for the NCAA.

NCAA Banned-Drug Classes 2005-2006

Many nutritional/dietary supplements contain NCAA banned substances. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not strictly regulate the supplement industry; therefore purity and safety of nutritional dietary supplements cannot be guaranteed. Impure supplements may lead to a positive NCAA drug test. The use of supplements is at the student-athlete's own risk. Student-athletes should contact their institution's team physician or athletic trainer for further information. The NCAA list of banned-drug classes is subject to change by the NCAA Executive Committee. The following is a list of banned-drug classes, with examples of substances under each class:

(g) Definitions of positive depends on the following:

micrograms/ml.
2. for testosterone - if the administration of testosterone or use
of any other manipulation has the result of increasing the ratio
of the total concentration of testosterone to that of
epitestosterone in the urine to greater than 6:1, unless there is
evidence that this ratio is due to a physiological or
pathological condition.
3. for marijuana and THC - if the concentration in the urine of
THC metabolite exceeds 15 nanograms/ml.



Also, if you have any specific products that the NCAA does not allow or are not recommended for use while competing in the NCAA, feel free to post them here. Thank you for your help in advance.
