Modifications to policy. After consultation with the Union, MLS may add substances to the list of those prohibited by the SABH so long as such substances have been adopted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency or FIFA. MLS may impose any testing procedure that is approved by the director of the Laboratoire de controle du dopage (IRNS-Institut ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) in Montreal, Quebec and the SABH Program Professionals. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.2, Players shall receive notice of any addition to the list of prohibited substances prior to the date on which such addition becomes effective. After receiving such notice, Players may not be disciplined for testing positive for the added substance(s) for (i) the recognized period for such substances to become undetectable after use; or (ii) if there is no reasonable medical certainty concerning such period, three (3) months. No notice will be required to add an illegal substance as a prohibited substance under the SABH, provided that Players may not be disciplined for testing positive for such added illegal substances from the date such substance becomes illegal until (i) the end of the recognized period for such substance to become undetectable after use; or (ii) if there is no reasonable medical certainty concerning such period, three (3) months.
