In Executive Order 72, issued December 20, 2005, Governor Richard Codey directed the New Jersey Department of Education to work in conjunction with the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) to develop and implement a program of random testing for steroids, of teams and individuals qualifying for championship games.
Beginning in the Fall, 2006 sports season, any studentathlete who possesses, distributes, ingests or otherwise uses any of the banned substances on the attached page, without written prescription by a fullylicensed physician, as recognized by the American Medical Association, to treat a medical condition, violates the NJSIAA’s sportsmanship rule, and is subject to NJSIAA penalties, including ineligibility from competition. The NJSIAA will test certain randomly selected individuals and teams that qualify for a state championship tournament or state championship competition for banned substances. The results of all tests shall be considered confidential and shall only be disclosed to the student, his or her parents, and his or her school. No student may participate in NJSIAA competition unless the student and the student’s parent/guardian consent to random testing.
By signing below, we consent to random testing in accordance with the NJSIAA steroid testing policy. We understand that if the student or the student’s team qualifies for a state championship tournament or state championship competition, the student may be subject to testing for banned substances.
