• No. NCAA drug-testing protocol requires the specific gravity of each student-athlete’s urine sample be measured onsite prior to sending the sample to the lab. (Protocol 6.2.5.1) • If the specimen is too dilute, the student-athlete will be required to remain in drug testing until an adequate specimen is collected. This could take several hours. For more information about NCAA Drug-Testing Programs, contact The National Center for Drug Free Sport at 816-474-8655 x116. The contact for this page is mwilfert@ncaa.
