Hello Lifters,
MEDICATION, PREWORKS & DRUG TESTING
It is important to remember that our events are drug tested. If you take ANY medication for any reason (including ADHD meds), you must verify if it if your medication is permitted or prohibited in competition.
Enter: Athlete > Weightlifting > then your medication.
Step 2: If prohibited in competition, a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) application must be submitted to the National Office.
ADHD Meds: If taking ADHD medications, you will need to follow the information on this document (ADHD CHECKLIST) prior to sending your TUE application to the National Office.
Additionally, many pre-workouts contain prohibited substances, whether declared on the ingredient labels or a hidden (contaminated) substance within the product. You as the athlete are responsible for what you put in your body and may cause a failure, which happened a few years ago at one of our National events. Consumer beware and only use products that are third party tested to help protect yourself.
These links provide supplements that have been third party tested:
