Updated OCB Drug Testing & Banned Substance Guidelines
Banned Substances, Drug - Free Policies
All competitors at OCB events are subject to drug testing. Competitors cannot have used any substances indicated as being banned for competition for a particular OCB event. Promoters have the right to request additional forms of drug testing at their discretion and expense for participants other than what is specified for their particular event. These may include blood testing, urinalysis, voice stress, or hair testing.
Banned Substances:
ANABOLIC STEROIDS. Including but not limited to bolasterone, boldenone, chioroxomesterone (dyhdrochlormethyltesterone), clostebol, fluoxymesterone, mesterolone, methandienone, methyltestosterone, nandrolone, norethandrolone, oxandrolone, oxymetholone, stanozolol, testosterone and all other related compounds.
The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 goes into effect January 20, 2005. This bill adds a number of "prohormone" and "prosteriods" to the already existing list of illegal anabolic steroids and all of these new illegal drugs (1-AD, 1-Testosterone, "M1T', etc) are banned as of this date. For a complete list of the banned substances included in this new law, please see the following link: Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004
Note: Some "prohomones" and related compounds such as AndrosteneTRIONE, DHEA, and 7-ketoDHEA, are not currently scheduled on this new law. If at any point in time these substances get added to the list of illegal anabolic steroids, they would be considered banned substances at that time.
TESTOSTERONE/EPITESTOSTERONE RATIO; The T/E ratio is used to measure the presence of exogenous testosterone, or elicit elevation of testosterone levels. A T/E ratio in excess of 6/1 is ruled as positive, no matter what the cause. Should the use of any substance cause a T/E ratio in excess of the 6/1 limit, the testing result for the particular athlete will be ruled as positive (failure). Use of an over the counter "test" booster is not an acceptable defense for failing a T/E ratio test. Please be conscience of any over the counter supplements you are taking and their potential hormonal effects.
Growth Hormones: Pharmaceutical HGH, HCG, and any other related compound. Oral, spray, or sublingual GH supplements
Antiestrogens: Nolvadex, Clomid, Arimidex, Letrozole, etc
Muscle Implants and synthol
Prescription Diuretics within 3 weeks prior competing.
Fen-Phen and all other prescription weight-loss substances used for bodybuilding purposes
Psychomotor Stimulants
Chemicals or drugs used for the purpose of deceiving or passing the polygraph test and anything used to attempt altering urine test results.
Clenbuterol and GHB
Any of the above substance founds in alternative forms available through 'experimental' or "for research purposes only" labeling.
Any illegal or illicit bodybuilding drug or substance
Any substance banned by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) unless otherwise indicated
(ephedra/ephedrine use is not permitted within 4 months prior to a contest effective June 1, 2005).
