The procedures for applying for and awarding a TUE are outlined in the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE)
The Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process is a means by which an athlete can obtain approval to use a prescribed prohibited substance or method to treat a legitimate medical condition.
In some cases, an athlete may suffer from an illness or condition that requires the use of the drugs on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned list. EGY-NADO can grant a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) in these situations in accordance with the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE). The TUE application process is comprehensive and designed to balance the need to provide athletes with access to critical medicines while protecting the rights of clean athletes to complete in an equal playing field.
The TUEs awarded by EGY-NADO TUEC are only valid for national competition and out-of-competition testing.
ISTUE is the reference standard for the TUE application process of the Egyptian Anti-Doping Organization (EGY-NADO)
Important note
Using a prohibited substance or method without a TUE may result in an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
