Just like any other organization, the NCAA has rules that its members must follow. If you want to be part of the organization, the burden is on you to follow the rules. The NCAA has a list of things that are banned, some of which can be taken legally, and some of which can't. It is pretty simple. If you take a substance that is on the list, then you can't participate in the organization.

Why does the NCAA ban "illegal" substances?? Oh, I dunno. Maybe they don't want illegal activity in their organization? Just a guess.

So, do they then not test for these substances in states where they are legal? Yes, they do. So, the fact that they are illegal can not be the driving force. I am looking for their legal justification, not just "because the NCAA says so"

Yalls reading comprehension skills fricking suck major truck nutZ.

This isnt a discussion about the merit of following organizational regulations.

Its a discussion about the value and justification of an organization, whos sole purpose to exist is to create and maintain an equal playing field for its member institutions, to have a regulation in place banning the use of substances that dont have ANY effect on said playing field.

Wurdz be hard.
