PROHIBITED DRUGS/SUBSTANCES
The drug screening process may include analysis or, but is not limited to, the NCAA list of banned-drug class (See Appendix B) with the exception of caffeine and alcohol. For an ongoing updated listing of the banned-drug list view the NCAA’s website at www.ncaa.org. Prohibited substances that Ottawa University may screen for include, without limitation, marijuana, synthetic designer drugs such as K2 and Bath Salts, PCP, opiates, MDMA (Ecstasy), amphetamines/methamphetamines, cocaine, masking agents/diuretics, all illegal drugs, and anabolic steroids. Ottawa University requires that all student-athletes keep the athletic training staff aware of any and all prescribed drugs and dietary supplements that he or she may be taking. Ottawa University reserves the right to test for substances not contained on the NAIA or NCAA banned-drug list and may test at cut off levels that differ from the NAIA or NCAA program. Ignorance for the legality of a substance is no excuse for a positive test.
