Anti-Doping Reglement

As an entrant to UTMB events, you are subject to both In and Out of Competition testing, and are responsible for understanding and complying with the World Anti-Doping Code and associated International Standards, as issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency (e.g., the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, the List of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods, and the International Standard for Testing and Investigations) and applicable anti-doping rules adopted by Organizer.

TESTING:

  • ALL athletes are subject to testing, which includes both blood and urine.
  • You are solely responsible for anything you use, attempt to use or is found in your system, regardless of how it got there and whether it was your intention to cheat.
  • Never been tested? Check out the video which illustrates the Doping Control Process.

PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES AND METHODS:

SUPPLEMENTS: All athletes need to be informed consumers when it comes to decisions related to supplements and sports nutrition products. Choosing supplements that have been screened for prohibited substances by an independent laboratory can significantly lower the risk of a positive test or an adverse health effect.
WADA does not certify, approve, endorse, or guarantee any supplement. Some products on the market imply, or state directly, that they are WADA certified or approved, but they are not.

Before you take a supplement:

  • Assess the need: seek advice from a medical professional or nutritionist on your need to use supplement products.
  • Assess the risk: Thoroughly research any product you consider taking. Look for products that have been screened for prohibited substances by an independent laboratory.
  • It is important to know if a supplement is high-quality and free from prohibited substances BEFORE use. A thorough third-party certification program that tests for performance enhancing drugs is an important risk-reduction step.
  • Being told by a supplement company that its products are "safe" and have been screened is not sufficient.
  • Unless a supplement has been independently certified by one of the organizations listed below, it should be considered high-risk.
    NSF Certified for Sport
    HASTA Certified
    Informed Sport Certified
    Informed Choice Certified
