TUE / ATUE Requirements for the 15th Asian Games Doha 2006

To assist the athletes coming to the Asian Games, the DAGOC Doping Control Programme has outlined the following to assist in explaining the OCA requirements for the Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) and Abbreviated Therapeutic Use Exemption (ATUE) process. These requirements are mandatory for the Athletes participating in the 15th Asian Games Doha 2006. With reference to the Therapeutic Use Exemption Section of the Doping Control Guide (pages 10-12):

TUE REQUIREMENTS

Athletes with a documented medical condition requiring the use of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method must obtain a TUE in advance of the Games from their International Federation (IF) or National Anti Doping Organisation (NADO).

The athlete granted approval of a TUE by the IF or the NADO is required to provide a copy of the approval to the OCA Medical Committee twenty one (21) days in advance of the start of the Games.

The athletes belonging to an IF that does not have a mechanism to issue TUEs or representing a country without a NADO should submit their TUE application with all supporting documents to the OCA Headquarters at least sixty (60) days in advance of the start of the Games.

The Chair of the OCA MC will appoint TUE Sub Commission who will consider the TUE applications.

The OCA MC will then inform the athlete, the athlete’s NOC, WADA and the relevant IF/AF of its decision. A decision granting of a TUE can be reversed by WADA upon review.

ATUE REQUIREMENTS

The athletes requiring a Beta-2 Agonist by inhalation and/or glucocorticosteroid by non-systemic routes are required to notify an ATUE to their IF or NADO in advance of the start of the Games.

For the emergency treatment or treatment of an acute medical condition; or

If an athlete had insufficient time or opportunity to submit an application prior to the Doping Control.
