ASADA

Everybody can be tested by the sports Anti-Doping Agency ASADA - some people at Cougars get tested over 15 times a year.Remember you are responsible for what you take - Do not take the word of a doctor or another athlete that something is ok - call the Anti-Doping Hotline on 1800 020 506 before you take it

Also remember some common medications are banned along with
recreational drugs, also up to 15% of supplements have been found to contain banned subtances and herbal preparations are also very unregulated.Asthma puffers are banned unless you have a Therapeutic Use Exemption form lodged BEFORE you get tested
