MEDICATION DOCUMENTATION
The NCAA requires that all athletes on stimulant medication, such as Adderal or Ritalin, for the treatment of ADD/ADHD provide adequate documentation of diagnosis and treatment to allow for a medical exemption. Stimulant medications are typically banned for use by NCAA athletes unless medical necessity is clearly documented by the host university. The Samford University Sports Medicine Department and the Department of Athletics is requesting additional information in order for your student- athlete to continue or begin their NCAA participation. This is critical for their participation in their sport. If you are seeing a physician who has prescribed any of these type of medications for you, please provide the following paperwork to that doctor and return the completed form to us at the address above.
