NCAA Banned Substances
The following is a list of banned substances by the NCAA, for inquires if a drug/supplement is banned go to: http://drugfreesport.com
This list does NOT contain all banned substances by the NCAA, but a complete and current list can be found at http://www.ncaa.com/health-safety.
NCAA Banned-Drug Classes 2006-2007
The NCAA list of banned-drug classes is subject to change by the NCAA Executive Committee. Contact NCAA education services or www.ncaa.org/health-safety for the current list. The term "related compounds" comprises substances that are included in the class by their pharmacological action and/or chemical structure. No substance belonging to the prohibited class may be used, regardless of whether it is specifically listed as an example. 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.
