Frequently Asked Questions

Clear to Compete (C2C) is a lookup tool that helps athletes check whether a medication or substance is on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) or National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) banned list, so an accidental positive test does not cost them their eligibility.

Athletes at every level, and the people who support them: coaches, athletic trainers, team physicians, agents, and compliance staff. It is built especially for the moments when an athlete is on their own and needs an answer quickly.

No. Clear to Compete references the WADA and NCAA prohibited lists but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by either organization.

The app is in final development. If you would like to help us beta test Clear to Compete, email us at [email protected].

Medications, peptides, and individual ingredients such as a single herb, vitamin, mineral, or amino acid. You can search a drug by its brand name in the country where it is sold, and the app matches it to the compound underneath.

Not as a whole product. Clear to Compete checks individual ingredients, so you can look up each ingredient on the label. A lookup cannot tell you whether a supplement was contaminated or contains something not listed on the label. For supplements, choose products that are NSF Certified for Sport.

Each search returns one of three results: Banned, Conditionally Banned (for example, banned in competition only), or Not on Banned List.

You choose WADA, NCAA, or both. If you choose both, you get a separate answer for each list.

When a medical exception process exists, the app links you to it: a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for WADA, or a Medical Exception for the NCAA. Clear to Compete does not grant exemptions. You apply through the governing body.

When WADA or the NCAA updates its list, the app shows you a notice about the changes, with links to the official websites. List updates during your subscription are included at no extra cost.

No. Clear to Compete is a reference tool, not medical advice, legal advice, or a guarantee of compliance. Under most anti-doping rules, athletes are responsible for any substance found in their body. Always confirm with your team physician, athletic trainer, or governing body. See our Disclaimer for details.
