Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE)

Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) allow athletes with legitimate medical conditions to use prohibited substances or methods that would otherwise violate anti-doping regulations. Athletes must provide medical documentation proving their need for the treatment, which is then reviewed by relevant sports authorities. If approved, the athlete can use the substance without facing penalties. TUEs help maintain fair competition while ensuring that athletes receive necessary medical care for their health conditions.
