Drug Testing and NCAA Banned Substance Exceptions
- Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):
- The treatment of ADHD often involves the use of prescription drugs such as Adderall and Ritalin. Certain classes of drugs can harm student-athletes, and can create an unfair advantage in competition; therefore, are prohibited by the NCAA. August 2009 marked the beginning of the NCAA’s updated regulations on monitoring and documentation of ADHD in student-athletes to prevent danger/abuse of these drugs. It is the athlete’s responsibility to submit all documentation in order to ensure eligibility.
- If you are currently under care for ADHD please download and review the following document as the guidelines by the NCAA.
- NCAA ADHD Guidelines (PDF)
- In addition to ADHD/ADD medications, there are other medications that student-athlete's may be prescribed that also may fall under the NCAA Banned Substance List. One other commonly prescribed medication that is new to this list is albuterol inhalers.
- View the NCAA Banned Substance List here: https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2015/6/10/ncaa-banned-substances.aspx
- If you are prescribed medications you can check if they are on the banned substance list by searching them on Drug Free Sport https://www.drugfreesport.com/
