Expressing the sense of Congress that all major sports organizations should 
ban the use of ephedra and dietary supplements containing ephedrine. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 25, 2003
Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon (for herself and Mr. HAYWORTH) submitted the fol-

Energy and Commerce 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that all major sports orga-
nizations should ban the use of ephedra and dietary 
supplements containing ephedrine.
Whereas, over the last decade, the use of ephedra and dietary 
supplements containing ephedrine have gained increased 
acceptance as a weight-loss supplement and as a workout 
enhancer; 
Whereas ephedrine increases heart rate and blood pressure, 
which can result in a potentially dangerous—and even 
deadly—combination for an athlete engaged in high-in-
tensity workouts; 
Whereas, in 2000, the New England Journal of Medicine 
published a study implicating ephedra usage in 54 deaths 
and approximately 1,000 serious illnesses;
•HCON 52 IH 
Whereas a number of recent deaths of collegiate and profes-
sional athletes have been linked to ephedrine use; and 
Whereas ephedrine has been banned by the National Football 
League, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the 
International Federation Football Associations (FIFA), 
and the International Olympic Committee: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that all major 
sports organizations should ban the use of ephedra and 
dietary supplements containing ephedrine.
