Section I: Competing in an ISAA Competition.

 

A.) The International Strength Amateur Association (ISAA) is considered the amateur "Drug Tested" division of the ISA. All individuals that compete in this division agree to participate in any and all Drug Testing required by ISAA rules and regulations. At all competitions, each weight class champion from each division will take a mandatory drug test. All others will be tested randomly. A complete list of tested chemicals will be given before each competition.

 

B.) Any and all competitors of an ISAA sanctioned competition must adhere to all rules and regulations set forth by ISAA.  ISAA has the sole and final authority for any and all decisions pertaining to individual member qualification.

 

C.) A competitor must have a current membership and be in good standings with the ISAA.

 

D.) All ISAA competitions are by invitation only. All entry deadlines and event rules must be met for invitation.

 

E.) All individual members must adhere to good sportsmanship on and off the stage. Members must also maintain good ethical standings in their community. The ISAA is strongly concerned with creating positive community role models and expect their members to act accordingly. Any member giving false information on their entry form, biography sheet or breaking any of the above mentioned rules, will immediately be suspended from the ISAA. A suspension will last for a period of one (1) year, unless otherwise noted.
