In the spirit of ethics, fair play and honesty OBRA does not allow doping in

any OBRA sponsored or affiliated event. By participating in an OBRA

sponsored or affiliated event, the athlete agrees not to commit an

anti-doping violation and will willfully submit to testing of his or her

bodily specimens when required to do so by any OBRA official.

The following constitute anti-doping rule violations:

1. The presence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in

an Athlete?s bodily Specimen. It is each Athlete?s personal duty to ensure

that no Prohibited Substance enters his or her body. Athletes are

responsible for any Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers found

to be present in their bodily Specimens. Accordingly, it is not necessary

that intent, fault, negligence or knowing Use on the Athlete?s part be

demonstrated in order to establish an anti-doping violation.

2. Use or Attempted Use of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method

3. Refusing, or failing without compelling justification, to submit to

Sample collection after notification as authorized in these Anti-Doping

Rules or otherwise evading Sample collection.

4. Tampering, or Attempting to tamper, with any part of Doping Control.

5. Possession of Prohibited Substances and Methods

6. Trafficking in any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method.

7. Administration or Attempted administration of a Prohibited Substance or

Prohibited Method to any Athlete, or assisting, encouraging, aiding,

abetting, covering up or any other type of complicity involving an

anti-doping rule violation or any Attempted violation.

OBRA members participating in, or at the site of, an OBRA sponsored or

affiliated event found in possession or observed using questionable

substances must be prepared and willing to provide proof of the contents of

the substance.

The current ?Prohibited Substance and Prohibited Method? list is available

from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) at

physician for medical diseases. The athlete must, upon request by an OBRA
