NCADFA president to address CSAC

The National Coalition for the Advancement of Drug-Free Athletics’ (NCADFA) will address the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) on performance enhancing drugs during its meeting in Los Angeles Oct. 31.

“California has recently been hit with a rash of positive steroid tests from several MMA (mixed martial arts) athletes, some of them very high profile,” says California’s Supervising Deputy Attorney General Karen Chappelle.

 In response to Chappelle’s concerns, NCADFA Founder and President, Victor Naumov, DC, General Counsel of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, Travis Tygart, and Director of Science & Technology at Quest Labs, Dr. Barry Sample have been invited by the State Attorney General’s Office to address the CSAC.

“We are trying to deliver a strong message to all participants in California that violations of our laws and regulations are not going to be taken lightly. In addition, we are demonstrating to our commissioner’s, who are new to this issue, that the actions that California takes has an impact on the rest of the country,” states Chappelle.

Items Naumov will address during the commission meeting are the trickle-down effect of star athletes’ actions to young people, the unfair advantage that anabolic steroid use creates in competition, and the harmful effects of anabolic steroid use on the human body.
