Athletes who are subject to anti-doping rules need to apply for a TUE to take a banned substance or use a prohibited method.
First, check if the required substance / method you intend to ingest / use is banned according to WADA prohibited List .
Then check who needs to apply for a TUE in advance and who can apply retroactively
You may also call if you are having difficulties determining the condition of the material / method. If the substance / method is prohibited, contact EGY-NADO to determine the level of competition and requirements for TUE application.
It is your responsibility to inform your doctor (s) that you are an athlete who is bound by the anti-doping rules. You and your physician (s) should check the prohibited list for any substance / method prescribed to you. If the substance / method is prohibited, discuss with your doctor (s) the option of using non-prohibited alternatives. If none, apply for a TUE. Remember that athletes have the ultimate responsibility for any substance that enters their bodies.
If you are determined to be National-LevelAthlete, you must apply to EGY-NADO for a TUE in advance, as soon as the need for treatment arises, unless it is an emergency or there are other exceptional circumstances.
