Does a student-athlete have to disclose the use of prescription medications to the drug-testing crew?
* No. The drug-testing crews do not ask or accept any information about medications student-athletes are taking. * The team physician/athletic trainer should be aware of all prescribed medications (and supplements) a student-athlete is taking. This information should be kept on file at the institution. * If a student-athlete tests positive because of a prescription medication, the institution may request a medical exception for certain banned drug classes as outlined in the NCAA Drug-Testing Exceptions Procedures at www.ncaa.org/health-safety.
