Banned substances:

Stimulants

Steroids and other anabolic agents

Diuretics

Street drugs

Peptide hormones and analogues

Many over-the-counter products contain drugs found on the NCAA banned drug list and could result in a positive drug test. Examples are cough syrups, lozenges, eye drops, cold medications, diet products, nasal sprays, and allergy medication. There may be occasions when these drugs are necessary for the proper treatment of a medical problem. Ephedrine and bromantan were added

to the list of banned drug classes in 1997. Ephedrine (ephedra) is contained in many supplement products and student-athletes need to be warned that 

the use of such products may result in a positive NCAA drug test. Student athletes must consult with the training staff and/or staff physician before taking any drugs.
