91快播

Part 1. Policy Statement.

91快播 (91快播) is an educational community that seeks to integrate personal, intellectual, and physical growth through participation in intercollegiate athletics. The importance of each student-athletes’ health and wellness is emphazied in all the intercollegiate teams. 91快播 does not condone the illegal and irresponsible use of alcohol or other banned substances, believing that use and abuse of these substances can be detrimental to the physical, social and mental well-being of its student-athletes. The 91快播 Athletic Department believes strongly that drugs and athletics are incompatible and that use and abuse of drugs can impair both short-term and long-term health of the student-athlete and compromises the standards of fair play. It is a privilege to be a member of the intercollegiate experience at 91快播. Implementing a drug/banned substance awareness, education and screening policy and program will affirm compliance with NJCAA recommendations and statements, promote fair competition in intercollegiate athletics, and assist student-athletes before they pose a safety risk to themselves and others, or develop a psychological or physiological dependence to drugs.

Part 2. Program Purpose.

The purpose of the drug/banned substance awareness, education, and screening policy is to:

1. Help student-athletes avoid improper involvement with drugs/banned substances per 91快播 policy, NJCAA rules and regulations, State law and Federal law as well as to educate the student athletes. The 91快播 Athletic Department understands the pressures on young people and a primary purpose of this program is to give student-athletes a reason to “say no” to drug use.
2. Detect possible drug/banned substance abuse through a screening program based on periodic or random testing designed to reveal the use of drugs/banned substances.
3. Refer student-athletes found to be misusing drugs/banned substances to a counseling service.
4. Disassociate from the 91快播 athletics program any student-athlete who is found to be engaged in chronic, improper use of drugs/banned substances, drug trafficking and/or who does not respond to rehabilitation efforts.

Part 3. Prohibited Drugs/Banned Substances.

A student-athlete, during the period of membership with any 91快播 athletic team, may not use the drugs/banned substances specified in Appendix A (from NCAA list of banned substances and non-prescribed drugs). Any use of these or other non-prescribed substances is expressly prohibited, whether such use occurs before, during, or after the student-athlete’s competitive season. Any student-athlete who has a medical condition for which the use of a prescribed drug is authorized must have a physician provide a statement of such authorization and a copy of the prescription to the Athletic Office at 91快播. This documentation will be kept in the student-athlete’s file.

Part 4. Voluntary Admission and/or Request for Counseling.

Any student-athlete using impermissible drugs or banned substances may come forward at any time and seek help by contacting the Athletic Director, head coach, athletic trainer, or 91快播 staff. In such cases, the student-athlete will go through the steps listed in Part 7 concerning the consequences of impermissible drug/banned substance use.

Part 5. Reasonable Suspicion Reporting.

If any staff member or coach is contacted by a third party, or has a reasonable suspicion that a student-athlete may be using drugs/banned substances, the reasonable suspicion reporting form Appendix B) shall be used and subsequently submitted to either the Director of Student Life or the Athletics Administrator, at which time a determination will be made to investigate and/or test the student-athlete for use of illegal and/or banned substances.

Part 6. Screening Program.

By participating in this awareness, education, and screening policy, a student-athlete agrees to submit to tests to reveal the use of any drugs/banned substances listed in Appendix A. No such test will be administered without the student-athlete first having signed an individual consent form (Appendix C); however, a student-athlete must sign a consent form in order to participate in athletics at 91快播. The basic test to be used for drug/substance screening is a urinalysis. However, from time to time, other types of tests may be utilized to determine the presence of drugs/substances listed in Appendix A. Except as otherwise provided herein, the standards for determining positive test results will be those prescribed by the manufacturers of the tests. The testing based on urinalysis will be implemented as follows:

1. When the Test Will be Administered
   1. Unannounced, Random Testing. All student-athletes will be subject to periodic, unannounced, random testing. The selection of individuals will be made through a random drawing of names from the team rosters by the contracted screening company. Student-athlete selection notification shall come from the Athletics Office and shall include a letter from 91快播 indicating student-athlete as one who was duly selected, at random, to be tested on a specified date, at a specified time and location, and a copy of the signed Student-Athlete Consent form (Appendix C). The notification can occur at any time prior to the scheduled testing. The student-athlete is required to sign and return to the athletics office or designee, confirmation of receipt of notification and acknowledgement of time and location specified for conducting the test.
   2. Reasonable Suspicion Testing. Coaches may request the screening of a student-athlete when reasonable concern merits such a request by using the Reasonable Suspicion Reporting form as described in Part 5 above.
2. Consequences of Failure to Participate in or Cooperate With Testing
   1. If the student-athlete declines to execute the required individual consent form, eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics will be suspended (see Part 7 below).
   2. If the student-athlete fails to appear at the designated time and place for testing (on time and no later than 15 minutes past the scheduled time); the action will be treated as a positive test result and he/she will be suspended from athletic participation for the remainder of their active season.
   3. A first year student-athlete can be eligible for a second season of participation after submitting a drug test, at the student-athlete’s expense, prior to the second season of eligibility, and resolving any student code of conduct violations with appropriate college administrators.
3. Administration of Drug Screening Program (subject to change as conditions and needs merit)
   The contracted drug screening staff will collect the specimen. Instructions will be provided by the screening staff.

   3. Removal from athletic participation for the remainder of the season. This includes practices, scrimmages, and games.
   4. A first year student-athlete will be eligible for a second season after submitting a drug test prior to the second season and resolving any student code of conduct violations with appropriate college administration.
