The Code permits Athletes and their physicians to apply for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) ie. permission to use, for therapeutic purposes, substances or methods contained in the List of Prohibited Substances or Methods whose use is otherwise prohibited. A TUE must be submitted when the athlete joins (and every 12 months thereafter) or needs to commence using the medication.

In either situation, the application must be submitted no less than 21 days before participating in an event.

A TUE form can be downloaded or apply to INBA Head Office for a copy.

There are two types of applications:

1 An abbreviated or ATUE.This completed form should be sent to INBA Head Office. (link to http://www.wada-ama.org/docs/web/standards_harmonization/code/tue/tue_v3_abbreviated.pdf)

This is solely for Athletes who require the legitimate use of:

2 A Standard TUE for all other medical situations. Click here to download. This completed form should be sent to ASDMAC - not the INBA. (link to http://www.asdmac.org.au/assets/ASDMAC_app_form.pdf)

In granting a standard Therapeutic Use Exemption, ASDMAC will consider (amongst other) matters (i) The amount of impairment to health if the prohibited substance or method were to be withheld. (ii) The substance will produce no additional enhancement other than that, which might be anticipated by the return to a state of normal health following the treatment. Note: The use of a prohibited substance to increase "low-normal" levels of any endogenous hormone is not considered acceptable therapeutic intervention. (iii) There is no reasonable therapeutic alternative to the use of the otherwise prohibited substance.
