ADD/ADHD Information

  • The NCAA bans classes of drugs because they can harm student-athletes and can create an unfair advantage in competition. Some legitimate medications contain NCAA banned substances, and student-athletes may need to use these medicines to support their academics and their general health. Effective August 2009, the NCAA has passed a stricter policy on documentation for medical exception of banned drugs. This exception occurs most commonly in cases of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
  • It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to report the use of any prescribed banned ADHD stimulant medications to Marist College Sports Medicine upon matriculation or the start of ADHD treatment. The student-athlete must NOT wait until the time of NCAA drug testing to report use of the stimulant medication.
  • Please see the attached documentation to ensure you have completed the necessary paperwork regarding your diagnosis.
