Question about the rules for natural competitions
Hi John,
Not that I'm anywhere near a condition to compete yet but I may be giving it a shot some time down the road.
I've looked at the banned substance lists I could find and it all seems good except for one thing which may or may not be a problem. I see ephedrine listed on there as banned but what about pseudoephedrine? I have a problem with congestion and allergies so in the last year I've taken Claritin-D which contains pseudoephedrine sulfate and Sudafed which is pseudoephedrine HCL.
Does this mean I couldnt compete for 5 or 7 years depending on the comp? I couldnt find those specific compounds on the lists at naturalbodybuilding.com but the lists that are available online typically state they are not all inclusive. I'm not sure if they even consider those separate drugs from ephedrine although they are significantly less potent.
Thanks,
David
