Check Your Medication ?
The following offer online drug information services to their athletes. The BAA does not take responsibility for the information provided by the services of other nations. Read the terms and conditions of any drug information service you use very carefully.
What is a Therapeutic Use Exemption?
The Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process is a means by which an athlete can obtain approval to use a prescribed prohibited substance or method for the treatment of a legitimate medical condition.
There are two types of TUE available:
Application for a TUE must be made in advance of using the prohibited medication and, in line with the WADA regulations, is only required for national and international level athlete.
Athletes who are not national or international level and are using a prohibited medication for therapeutic purposes, apply for a TUE only if and when they are selected for testing.
For national level athletes please visit the BNADO website (Link here) for more information and to submit a TUE application.
For international level athletes please visit the AIU website (Link here) for more information and to submit a TUE application.
For assistance on how to submit a TUE application please contact the BAA (link here)
