Hello, Bwellsy. I can only answer half your question. Yep, it's tested for, best I recall. Maybe someone else can be more definitive. As to how long it stays in your system after discontinuing the use, I haven't a clue. Again, reckon I should just defer to the experts.
Welcome to the board!
God Bless. Doug P.

This is sort of an interesting question.
Standard Dislclaimers Apply, Your Mileage May Vary...Always check the WADA docs for yourself.
Ephedra is one of a group of substances that is banned for *in-competition* use, it is not banned for outside of competition use, i.e.: training.
In other words, Ephedra is "legal" to use as long as its not in competition.
I believe the rule is written such that you are not permitted to use Ephedra within 7 days of a competition. Personally, I don't use ephedra but sparingly...I still have a little original formula Ultimate Orange that I save for rainy days when I need a kick in the pants and I don't feel like drinking coffee. :-)
For training use...not sure that it makes sense to train with something you can't use on "game-day"...although upping your workout intensity probably has a benefit in and of itself.
Lifetime Drug Free: This is the interesting part...since Ephedra is a "legal" compound outside of competition...where does that leave you? Answer: you'd probably have to check with the Fed or sanction. Are you lifetime drug free as long as you follow the rules about competition use? Or are you never allowed to consume them at all, ever?
My sense is that Lifetime Drug Free really focuses on the use of AAS, hormones and the like as opposed to mild stimulants such as ephedra...of caffeine for that matter...Those things that are completely banned in or out of competition.
My $0.02.
