How does an international athlete seek approval for the therapeutic use of a prohibited substance?
International Federations (IF) operate their own therapeutic use processes which include a Therapeutic Use Exception Committee (TUEC). Athletes participating in international events who do not have a TUE recognised by the IF must request a TUE from the IF no later than twenty-one (21) days before participation at an international event. An International Federation (IF) may recognise a TUE granted by ASDMAC. When competing in International Sports Federation (ISF) sanctioned events either in Australia or overseas. You will need to approach the IF to determine if the approval provided by the ASDMAC is valid for continued use of the substance during competition or valid under the IF rules.
