Collegiate Athletic Drug Testing
Drug-testing collection for college athletic departments — built around the NCAA banned-substance list, with year-round and event testing, collected on campus by our own collectors and MRO-verified. We provide the testing and the documentation; your department owns the policy and any education.
Collegiate athletic drug testing programs are institutional testing built around the NCAA banned-substance list, with on-campus collection, MRO-verified results, athlete education, and TUE support.
A failed test — or a mishandled one — can cost an athlete their eligibility and your program its credibility. Athletic departments that run their own drug-testing programs need a partner who knows the NCAA banned-substance list, the procedural rigor an appeal demands, and how to run it all without disrupting the season.
Testing built to the standard
We run your institution's testing around the current NCAA banned-substance classifications — year-round, event or championship-period, and reasonable-suspicion testing — with the chain-of-custody rigor and documentation that holds up if a result is challenged. This is your institutional program; the NCAA runs its own separate testing.
Collected on campus
Our own collectors come to your athletic facility, so testing fits around practice and travel instead of pulling athletes off campus. Every result is MRO-verified.
What we handle — and what you own
We provide the collection, laboratory analysis, MRO verification, and the documentation your program relies on. Your athletic department owns the written policy, athlete education, and any Therapeutic Use Exemption decisions — we run the testing that supports them.

Compliance Requirements
Compliance Requirement
Institutional vs. NCAA testing
The NCAA conducts its own testing under the NCAA Drug-Testing Program. Separately, member institutions run their own athletics drug-testing programs. We provide the institutional program — designed to align with the NCAA banned-substance list and to be defensible on appeal.
A defensible process
Testing student-athletes should follow a written policy, proper notice and consent, consistent selection, chain of custody, and confidential result handling. We build the program to those standards so it withstands scrutiny.
Therapeutic Use Exemptions
An athlete with a legitimate prescription for a banned substance may qualify for a Therapeutic Use Exemption; we help you administer that process.
