This topic brings to mind the fact that the medications used to treat chronic conditions may appear on the NCAA's list of "banned substances." If your college-bound son takes a medication regularly, notify the college's medical officials in advance of his enrollment. If the drug is found on the list, a letter from the player's home physician will be maintained on file with the university to establish the medical need; removing any possibility of it creating a problem later.
