Substance Abuse Testing
All AMA Pro Racing (“AMAP”) Pro Motocross licensed riders are subject to the AMAP Substance Abuse Policy (Section 4, AMAP Pro Motocross Championship Rulebook) ( “Policy”) and testing procedures therein. The Policy is administered by Aegis Sciences Corporation (“Aegis”). Aegis is a reputable lab testing facility and provides similar services to the NFL, MLB, NHL, and IndyCar, as well as many colleges.
Aegis representatives will conduct all testing and manage all test results. The Policy specifies the substances and acts prohibited and sets forth the procedures and penalties in the event of a positive test result or violation. Riders who test positive or violate the Policy may eliminate, reduce or event suspend their period of ineligibility by successfully completing the Return to Competition Program outlined in the Policy.
The Policy requires riders notify Aegis and provide proof of all prescriptions containing prohibited substances in advance of testing and upon receipt of such a prescription from their treating physicians. This can be done by email or fax direct to Aegis.
It is the responsibility of the rider to know and make themselves aware of what substances are prohibited and the terms and conditions of the Policy.
