Lane College Department of Intercollegiate Athletics Lane Lane College Department of Intercollegiate Athletics Lane College Athletic Drug/Alcohol Education and Testing Program Policy I. Introduction: The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at Lane College recognizes that drug use is a matter of deep concern in our society. The use of prohibited drugs, alcohol, and the abuse of drugs and alcohol and other controlled substances, as well as chemical dependency to such agents, constitute a threat to the integrity of intercollegiate athletics and represents a danger to the health, welfare and career of the Lane College student‐athletes. The main purpose of this policy is to protect the Lane College student‐athlete from the risks and dangers of alcohol and drug abuse through such measures as drug and alcohol education, drug testing, drug counseling and rehabilitation, and when appropriate, sanctions. II. Objectives: The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has established the following Drug and Alcohol Policy and Program objectives: 1. Provide an alcohol and drug free environment. 2. Educate student‐athletes, coaches, and staff members about the physical, social, psychological, financial, and legal problems associated with alcohol abuse and drug use. 3. Identify student‐athletes who are abusing alcohol or drugs and assure prompt counseling and treatment. 4. Provide a program to assist individuals who use or abuse drugs or alcohol to recognize their problem and be referred for counseling and rehabilitation. 5. Provide a fair administrative process for sanctions and appeals. III. Substance Abuse Education Student-Athletes who are educated about substance use in sport are more likely to make informed and intelligent decisions about usage. Lane College Athletics will conduct a substance abuse education program for student-athletes at least once a year. These educational programs will be designed to review athletic department, institutional, conference and national governing body policies related to prohibited substances. Appropriate educational materials will be made available to participants including this Policy and a list of NCAA banned substances. All student- athletes and athletics staff members are required to attend. Make-up sessions are available for participants who must miss a scheduled educational session for an approved reason. In addition to educating student-athletes and athletics staff about the various policies, a review of the institutional testing program will be conducted. Dietary supplements and their inherent risks will be discussed. Time will be allowed for questions from participants. In addition, special educational programs may be arranged to provide participants the opportunity to learn more about the dangers of specific substances. This education will be in addition to the Lane College Drug-Free Awareness Program. IV. Application of Policy: All student athletes found in violation pertaining to drug abuse and testing will be subject to sanctions accumulating from the first violation. All student athletes found in violation pertaining to the alcohol section will be subject to sanctions set forth in the policy. V. Drug Testing Any prohibited drug on the NCAA Banned Drug Reference List (hereinafter “NCAA”) and any subsequent additions to the original list, regardless of whether such drugs are prescribed or non‐prescribed, legal, or illegal, and any other controlled dangerous substance may be tested. Included are “street drugs” (as defined by NCAA guidelines). Testing for the presence of any prohibited drug by the NCAA shall be in addition to, and not in place of, any testing done by Lane College under this policy. As a condition of participation in Lane College athletic programs each student‐athlete shall be required to sign a release/consent form (prior to the start of each year of athletic participation), which states that he/she is aware that urine testing for the presence of drugs is permitted by the NCAA and the Lane College Athletic Department and participation in the drug testing program is mandatory. Once the form is signed by the student‐athlete, the student‐athlete thereafter will be subjected to unannounced, observed and/or unobserved, random drug testing for the presence of any prohibited drug. The determination of which student‐athlete will be tested and the frequency of testing in response to an individualized reasonable suspicion shall be at the discretion of the Athletic Director. In signing the release/consent form, each athlete understands that failure to undergo testing will result in sanctions pertaining to a first violation (positive test). Failure to undergo testing a second time will result in sanctions pertaining to a second violation (positive test). Failure to undergo testing a third time will result in sanctions pertaining to a third violation (positive test). A positive test will also result from leaving the drug testing site prior to producing a urine sample and/or the manipulation of your sample specimen in any fashion. Dietary Supplements The Lane College Athletic Training staff discourages the use of over-the-counter dietary supplements. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration does not strictly regulate the supplement industry, therefore purity and safety of dietary supplements are not guaranteed. Impure substances can lead to a positive drug test. Athletes who choose to use dietary supplements do so at their own risk and should consult with a member of the Athletic Training staff before doing so. The National Center for Drug Free Sport Inc. hosts the Resource Exchange Center (REC), which provides information on banned substances and dietary supplement information. The Website is www.drugfreesport.com/rec. The Division II password is ncaa2. Student-Athlete Selection All intercollegiate student-athletes are subject to announced and unannounced drug screenings throughout the academic year either on random or reasonable suspicion basis. Reasonable suspicion can be defined, but not limited to, one of the following: 1) Previous arrest or conviction for the use of an illegal substance. 2) Seen carrying or using a substance on the banned list. 3) Changes in appearance, behavior, or conduct that may be symptomatic of drug use. 4) Previous positive drug test. Lane College shall have the right to test any student-athlete who is listed on the official team roster, or is participating in athletic related activities with the team. This includes student- athletes who may be academically ineligible, who are not receiving athletic-related aid, or who are injured. All substances on the NCAA banned substance list are subject to be measured during the screenings. All intercollegiate student-athletes participating in NCAA championships or post-season events may be screened prior to or following participation in the event. Student-Athlete Notification Student-athletes chosen for drug testing will be notified no earlier than 24 hours prior to the scheduled test date. Notification of the test date and time will occur either by direct in-person contact or by direct telephone communication from the Head Athletic Trainer or Director of Athletics. Student-athletes will read and sign the Drug Education and Testing Program Notification Form prior to being tested. Each student‐athlete must advise the Head Athletic Trainer prior to providing any urine sample of all medications, whether prescriptive or non‐prescriptive, that the student‐athlete is presently taking or has taken within the preceding thirty days, and the medical reason. If a student-athlete fails to show up for a drug test, or attempts to manipulate the results of a drug test, the test will be considered as positive. Urine Specimen Collection Procedures The drug screening will consist of the collection of urine samples from each student-athlete either under the supervision of a Lane College Sports Medicine Staff member, a Lane College administration member, or NCAA recommended independent laboratory personnel. Each sample will then be analyzed for the presence of substances on the NCAA banned substance list by an independent licensed medical laboratory contracted to provide such services. The following is a protocol for specimen collection procedures: 1. Upon entering the collection station, the athlete will provide photo identification and/or a client representative/site coordinator will identify the athlete and the athlete will be officially signed into the station. 2. The athlete will select a sealed collection beaker from a supply of such and will record his/her initials on the collection beaker’s lid or attach a unique bar code to the beaker. 3. A collector, serving as validator, will monitor the furnishing of the specimen by observation in order to assure the integrity of the specimen until a volume of approximately 85 mL is provided (volume may vary and is dependent upon client protocol and drugs being tested). 4. Only members of the drug-testing crew should serve as validators. Validators who are of the same gender as the athlete must observe the voiding process. The procedure does not allow for validators to stand outside the immediate area or outside the restroom. The athlete must urinate in full view of the validator (validator must observe flow of urine). The validator must request the athlete raise his/her shirt high enough to observe the midsection area completely to rule out any attempt to manipulate or substitute a sample. 5. Validators and other collectors must never handle the athlete’s beaker or specimen until after the specimen is enclosed in the appropriate vials. 6. Athletes may not carry any item other than his/her beaker into the restroom when providing a specimen. Any problem or concern should be brought to the attention of the crew chief for documentation. 7. Once a specimen is provided, the athlete is responsible for keeping the collection beaker closed and controlled. 8. Fluids and food given to athletes who have difficulty voiding must be from sealed containers (approved by the collector) that are opened and consumed in the station. These items must be caffeine- and alcohol-free and free of any other banned substances. 9. If the specimen is incomplete, the athlete must remain in the collection station until the sample is completed.

  • UWM Performance Enhancing Substance Statement
    UWM SPORTS MEDICINE POSITION STATEMENT ON PERFORMANCE ENHANCING SUBSTANCES & NON-THERAPEUTIC DRUGS Each year student-athletes and coaches look for the “edge” over their opponents. At times, student-athletes make decisions to take a performance enhancing substance based on information read about or hear from others. Examples may include injectable substances, pills, powders, and/or drink mixtures purchased from other people, through the mail, or at retail “nutrition” stores. These are marketed to the public or sold on the internet as “performance enhancing” but research in the area of enhancing performance has shown doubtable improved overall performance. Some examples of these include but not limited to: protein powders/pills, creatine, amino acid supplements, alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, caffeine, ephedrine, cocaine, LSD, PCP, Marijuana or synthetic marijuana, tobacco products, nitric oxide, beta blockers, diuretics, Beta-2 agonists, and anabolic-androgenic steroids & precursors, like: testosterone epitestosterone human growth hormone EPO androstenedione DHEA, and herbal substances, like: ma huang ephedra kava (aka: ava, ava peper, awa, kava root, Kawa, rauschpfeffer, sakau, tonga, yangona gensing gotu kola bitter orange (aka: citrus aurantium amara, zhi shi) UWM and the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports understands athletes are searching for safe, legal, and effective ways to improve their athletic performance. Many of these are banned by the NCAA, UWM, professional sports, national sport organizations, and are illegal. Furthermore, many of them may cause or trigger other health issues like heart conditions, liver disease, and muscle injuries. Some of these items are combined, or “stacked”, in the same product, which may have, at the minimum, an additive effect or even a multiplying effect of the action/reaction to/of the body.

  • Student Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program
    Student Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program Health Risks and Effects: Alcohol and drug usage causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including domestic violence and date rape. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause mark impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. Repeated use of alcohol and drugs can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol and drugs, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver. Alcohol-and-Drug-Free Campus Workplace Policy: Ferrum College is committed to providing student, faculty, staff, and visitors a safe campus and workplace. The college recognized the health risks associated with controlled substance use and alcohol misuse and is committed to supporting students and employees who seek treatment for these conditions. The college also recognizes that controlled substance use and alcohol misuse diminish workplace and campus safety and undermine the college’s ability to fulfill its mission of providing quality education for all students in an atmosphere that promotes intellectual pursuit, spiritual growth, and social and personal responsibility. Compliance with this policy is considered a condition of employment and attendance at Ferrum College and monitored by the Human Resource Department.
