Competitors must be drug free and compliant with the WADA Anti-Doping Code. Participants are required to pass polygraph screenings prior to competitions (polygraph test results from amateur OCB shows can be honored for other amateur OCB shows held within three weeks from the contest where testing took place. Polygraph test results from other amateur all-natural federations, other than OCB, can possibly be honored, but only in circumstances where the polygraph examiner who conducted the testing sends verification to OCB, or where the conducting examiner's name and contact information are supplied to OCB for OCB to be able to verify testing took place and what results were in advance). Pros are required to be polygraph tested for every OCB Pro show, regardless of how recently they may have been tested elsewhere. In addition to polygraph testing, pro-qualifying placement winners at amateur events, and cash-prize placement winners in pro divisions, must pass a urine test.

Polygraph screenings are used since many substances are not detectable in urine. Most anabolic steroids and other banned substances are no longer detectable in urine within a month or two from last use, and growth hormone is not detected in routine sports panel urine testing.

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) equipment is used to determine Testosterone/Epitestosterone (T/E) Ratios. Urine specimens in excess of a 6/1 ratio are red flagged and ruled as a positive test, no matter what the cause. In the event of elevated T/E results (which can occur naturally in a very small percent of the population) further testing will be done via IRMS/CIR to determine if exogenous testosterone is present in the urine. This will be done at the athlete’s expense at the WADA accredited lab.

OCB Drug testing will conform to the most current WADA Prohibited List by WADA Accredited Labs.

● All athletes must present a valid government issued form of identification.● All testing will be carried out on site or at an approved designated site in accordance with OCB Drug Testing Custody and Control Form Collection Policy and Procedures.● Testing includes all performance enhancing “drugs” that are on the current WADA Prohibited List.● All athletes are subject to urinalysis testing, which may include unannounced or random testing. Refusal to supply a urine sample may result in ineligibility or disqualification.● Any attempts to evade or invalidate polygraph or urinalysis testing may result in ineligibility or disqualification.● If an athlete tests positive for a banned substance they will be suspended from competing for a minimum of three months and up to a maximum of four years based on the severity and quantities/levels of banned substance or substances detected.● Any athlete sample that tests positive faces immediate suspension beginning the date of the positive test. The athlete will be notified in writing of the failed test, the substance detected, and the Confidential Test Report will be provided from the lab. The athlete has the right to appeal the decision in writing within 10 business days and pay the total cost of the “B” sample testing. However, the suspension remains in effect until either the “B” sample confirms or refutes the findings. Once a final ruling is made by the OCB Testing committee, then there is no second appeal.
