Doping Control
TestingThe athletes at this competition are subject to drug testing conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and FINA under the In-Competition Testing program. This section is intended to give an overview of the key points relevant to this program and the testing which will be conducted at the competitions governed by this booklet. For a more detailed explanation of the program please contact
Stacy Michael-Miller, USA Swimming Athlete Services Manager at
719-866-4962.
Medications: The 2011 Prohibited List is in effect for this competition and may be found at usada.org
Athletes should check the status of all medications (over the counter and prescription) and substances prior to consumption to ensure that they do not contain a prohibited substance. This should be done well in advance of the competition, as certain medications may require reporting in advance.
Check the status of all medications at one of the following locations:
Drug Reference Online: globaldro.com
Drug Reference Line: 800-233-0393
The athlete is responsible for ensuring that no prohibited substance enters his/her system.
Supplements
In an effort to maintain the integrity of our sport and the safety of our athletes, USA Swimming has taken a proactive role in making athletes and coaches more aware of the risks involved in the use of commercially available dietary supplements that have been linked to enhancing performance. Along with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), USA Swimming considers dietary supplements “take at your own risk,” placing full responsibility for any effects and repercussions on the athlete.
It is the role of USA Swimming to educate swimmers, coaches and parents on the issues of dietary supplements, including general and specific risks, normal values and toxicity, drug testing and drug interactions, stacking, and conventional dietary alternatives. It is also the role of USA Swimming to validate or repudiate via research review or sanctioned research the answers to the many questions that surround scientific and anecdotal evidence versus actual application. Any recommendations or opinions offered by USA Swimming regarding the use of dietary supplements are based on a yellow-orange-red light continuum Health & Contamination Risk Chart for Dietary Supplements and the most current publicly available scientific and consumer-specific information.
Claims made by the manufacturers / distributors of dietary supplements regarding the effectiveness of their products are not strictly regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration. Any commercial dietary supplement may contain substances that may appear on the Prohibited Substance list(s) of FINA and/or the WADA. The potential exists for commercial supplements to contain sub-stances that do not appear on the product’s list of ingredients (see Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act for more information). Statistics indicate that in some cases, the use of legal dietary supplements has been linked to positive test results for prohibited substances in athletics.
The choice to use a dietary supplement is the sole responsibility of the athlete and one that should not be made in haste. An athlete is advised to weigh the options heavily, consider the consequences, and take responsibility for his/her actions. Feb/01, rev:Jul/03
Doping Control rule for athletes previously eligible for out of competition drug testing:
Athletes who were previously eligible for out of competition (no-advance-notice) doping control and officially retired have a 9 month waiting period before they can compete (should they choose to return to competition) and must again be subject to out-of-competition testing during this reinstatement period. The athlete is not permitted to compete in any USA Swimming sanctioned or FINA sanctioned events. If you have an athlete in this situation, please email smichael@usaswimming.org immediately.
