DOPING CONTROL All athletes should check the status of all medications they plan to take PRIOR to taking them. This includes Over the Counter and Prescription medications. It is the responsibility of the athlete to ensure that no prohibited substance enters his/her system. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) offers a Drug Reference Line (1-800-233-0393) and a Drug Reference Online (www.globaldro.com) where athletes, coaches, parents and medical professionals may check to ensure that proper documentation is on file for their medications and that they are consuming medications that are permitted. Dietary Supplements are considered “Take at Your Own Risk” as claims made by the manufacturers/distributors of dietary supplements regarding the effectiveness of their products are not strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Any commercial dietary supplement is susceptible to containing substances that may appear on the Prohibited Substance list(s) of FINA and/or the World Anti-Doping Agency. These substances may not be listed on the ingredients label of the product. Athletes are also strongly encouraged to check every ingredient of every product they plan to consume as prohibited substances may be listed as ingredients. To comply with the World Anti-Doping Code, FINA, USOC and USADA have all amended their anti-doping rules. The current rules are available at the offices of USA Swimming or may be found online at the following websites: WADA www.wada-ama.org FINA www.fina.org USOC www.usoc.org USADA www.usantidoping.org USA SWIMMING POLICY MANUAL The USA Swimming Policy Manual is available on USA Swimming’s Web site: usaswimming.org (About/Swimming Governance).
