banned substances

[abebesheir]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a question concerning banned substances? I am taking prednisone for a throat infection. It's an oral steroid and used to be on the WADA list of banned substances... Does anyone know if this would result in a positive test at a 100% raw meet I plan to attend?
Thanks for any replies.

I didn't see pred listed, but at the second link there is a paragraph or five that talks about precursors and such. I only glanced, but I believe I read that if you can get a medical clearance (doctor's note) that states the drug, dose, and that it's not performance enhancing, you may be okay. Best bet is to ask Paul. His email address is listed at the 100% Raw home page.

God Bless.
