NCAA Bylaw 12 and 14 education programs prevent inadvertent violations. Athlete training on banned substances, supplement risks, and TUE procedures—protecting eligibility and scholarships.
NCAA requires comprehensive drug education for student-athletes per Bylaw 12 (Division I) and Bylaw 14 (Division II/III), but complex banned substance categories, evolving policy changes (like cannabis modifications), and supplement contamination risks create confusion that leads to career-ending violations. Athletes unknowingly consume banned substances through over-the-counter supplements, protein powders, and energy drinks—triggering positive tests that destroy professional prospects and eliminate scholarship funding.
DSC provides NCAA-compliant education programs: comprehensive banned substance training covering anabolic agents, peptide hormones, stimulants, and masking agents, supplement risk education identifying contaminated products and dangerous ingredients, Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) procedures for medically necessary medications, recent policy update communication (including cannabis rule changes), scenario-based training using real violation case studies, and coaching staff education on observation and reporting responsibilities. Our programs satisfy NCAA Bylaw education requirements while providing practical guidance that prevents inadvertent violations. We've trained 5,000+ student-athletes with zero inadvertent violations from supplement contamination. Protect eligibility through education—prevent violations before they end careers.
Education programs satisfy Bylaw 12 (Division I) and Bylaw 14 (Division II/III) requirements with documented completion for NCAA reviews.
Athletes learn to identify contaminated supplements, dangerous ingredients, and high-risk products that cause inadvertent violations.
Immediate communication of NCAA Drug-Testing Manual changes, including recent cannabis rule modifications and banned substance list revisions.
NCAA Bylaws 12 and 14 require drug education for student-athletes:
Supplement contamination causes most inadvertent violations. Over-the-counter protein powders, pre-workout supplements, and energy drinks often contain unlabeled anabolic agents, stimulants, or masking agents that trigger positive tests. DSC education identifies high-risk products and teaches athletes to verify ingredients.
NCAA requires annual education per Bylaw 12 (Division I) and Bylaw 14 (Division II/III). DSC recommends education during preseason team meetings, new athlete orientations, and whenever NCAA policy changes occur (like recent cannabis modifications for Division I football).
Yes. DSC trains coaches, athletic trainers, and compliance officers on banned substance categories, supplement risks, observation responsibilities, and TUE coordination. Educated staff prevent violations by guiding athletes away from contaminated products and high-risk behaviors.
A TUE allows athletes to use medically necessary banned substances (like ADHD medications containing stimulants) without triggering violations. DSC coordinates TUE documentation with team physicians and NCAA compliance officers, ensuring proper medical justification prevents eligibility issues.
FMCSA requires 50% drug and 10% alcohol testing annually. Our consortium eliminates the administrative burden of random testing—automated selections, documentation, and compliance certificates keep you compliant year-round.
Federal law prohibits dispatch without a verified negative pre-employment test. Access 3,000+ collection locations nationwide with MRO-verified results typically returned in 24-72 hours.
Missing post-accident testing can compromise insurance claims and trigger federal violations. 24/7 collector dispatch helps you meet the 8-hour alcohol and 32-hour drug testing deadlines.
