Anti-doping – How to request a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)

When an athlete requires medical treatment for an illness or medical condition, they must apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

The Therapeutic Use Exemption for a prohibited substance or method is issued when each of the following conditions are met:

1. The prohibited substance or prohibited method is necessary for the treatment of a diagnosed medical condition supported by relevant clinical evidence
2.  Therapeutic use of the prohibited substance or method would not lead to enhanced performance, apart from that attributable to a return to a normal state of health following treatment for the medical condition
3. The prohibited substance or method is an appropriate treatment for the medical condition, and there is no reasonable authorised therapeutic alternative
4. The need to use a prohibited substance or method is not a direct or indirect consequence of prior use (without a TUE) of a substance or method that was prohibited at the time of use
