Athletes, like all others, may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take particular medications.

If the medication an athlete is required to take to treat an illness or condition happens to fall under the Prohibited List, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may give that athlete the authorization to take the needed medicine.

The purpose of the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE) is to ensure that the process of granting TUEs is harmonized across sports and countries.

This section provides information about the TUE process for athletes, members of Therapeutic Use Exemption Committees (ISTUECs) and all those involved or interested in this area of anti-doping.

The current ISTUE, is available for Download below.

Previous ISTUE may be downloaded at: http://www.wada-ama.org/en/Science-Medicine/TUE/
