NCAA Banned-Drug Classes: 2007-2008
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.

The following stimulants are not meclofenoxate banned: Methamphetamine; phenylephrine;
pseudoephedrine
(b) Anabolic Agents:

ethacrynic acid spironolactone (canrenone) flumethiazide triamterene furosemide trichlormethiazide and related compounds
(e) Street Drugs:
(f) Peptide Hormones and Analogues :

All the respective releasing factors of the above-mentioned substances also are banned:
erythropoietin (EPO) sermorelin
darbepoetin
(g) Definitions of positive depend on the following:
1for caffeine—if the concentration in urine exceeds 15 micrograms/ml.
2for 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
orpathological condition.
3for marijuana and THC—if the concentration in the urine of THC metabolite exceeds 15
nanograms/ml.
31.2.3.4.1 Drugs and Procedures
Subject to Restrictions.
The use of the following drugs and/or procedures is subject to certain restrictions
and may or may not be permissible, depending on limitations expressed in these
guidelines and/or quantities of these substances used:
(Revised: 8/15/89)
(a) Blood Doping. The practice of blood doping (the intravenous injection of
whole blood, packed red blood cells or blood substitutes) is prohibited, and any
evidence confirming use will be cause for action consistent with that taken for a
positive drug test. (Revised: 8/15/89, 5/4/92)
(b) Local Anesthetics. The Executive Committee will permit the limited use of
local anesthetics under the following conditions:
(1) That procaine, xylocaine, carbocaine or any other local anesthetic may be
used, but not cocaine; (Revised: 12/9/91, 5/6/93)
(2) That only local or topical injections can be used (i.e., intravenous injections
are not permitted); and
(3) That use is medically justified only when permitting the athlete to continue the
competition without potential risk to his or her health.
(c) Manipulation of Urine Samples. The Executive Committee bans the use of
substances and methods that alter the integrity and/or validity of urine samples
provided during NCAA drug testing.
Examples of banned methods are catheterization, urine substitution and/or
tampering or modification of renal excretion by the use of diuretics, probenecid,
bromantan or related compounds, and epitestosterone administration. (Revised:
8/15/89, 6/17/92, 7/22/97)
(d) Beta 2 Agonists. The use of beta 2 agonists is permitted by inhalation only.
(Adopted: 8/13/93)
(e) Additional Analysis. Drug screening for select nonbanned substances may be
conducted for nonpunitive purposes. (Revised: 8/15/89)
