Therapeutic Use Exemptions

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:

 

• Full TUE – 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.

​

• Retroactive TUE – 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 for more information and to submit a TUE application.
