Therapeutic use exemption (TUE)

It is an athlete’s responsibility to ensure that any medication or method they take to treat an illness or medical condition is not prohibited according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.

Athletes may have to take a medication that is on the WADA Prohibited List to treat an acute or chronic illness or medical condition. Before doing so, they must apply for a TUE and be given an approval for the particular medication and/or method. Athletes should consult with their NPC team physician to guide them through this process. All TUEs will be managed as per the WADA International Standard for TUEs (ISTUE) and entered ADAMS (a secure online database). NPCs are encouraged to:

• • Be proactive in assisting their athletes in verifying the status of their medication.
  • Identify, along with the athlete’s physician, therapeutic use alternatives to prohibited medications or methods. If appropriate;
  • Submit legible and complete TUE application forms in a timely manner.
  • The most common reason a TUE is denied is because of lack of proper medical documentation. Athletes and NPC medical staff are encouraged to ensure documentation related to all medical treatment such as proper diagnoses and treatment plans are included.
