If you are currently taking this type of medication we need to have specific documentation stating that you have gone through the proper testing on file in the athletic training room. If we do not have this documentation and an NCAA drug test is done and comes back positive you will be guilty regardless of the physician’s prescription. Please print out the NCAA guidelines and self reporting form and take that to your prescribing physician. Then mail all the documentation including test results that pertains to your ADD and ADHD to Sarah Downey at the address below.
