Therapeutic Use Exemptions
Athletes may at times need to use a prohibited medication to treat a legitimate medical condition.
A TUE is an exemption that allows an athlete to use, for therapeutic purposes only, an otherwise prohibited substance or method (of administering a substance).
Please check the ASADA page carefully for all up-to-date information, forms and resources for TUE ~ Therapeutic Use Exemptions.

Investigations
Investigation information and case studies
Conducting investigations is a powerful tool in the fight against doping in sport.
Intelligence
ASADA's intelligence gathering activities.
From just a single tip-off by a member of the public, we can start gathering intelligence on an athlete or support person.
Education
Anti-doping education, including eLearning.
All members of Australia's sporting community can now access a range of anti-doping education programmes and contribute to protecting our national sporting integrity.
eLearning Tools
ASADA has six easy to use 10 minute interactive tutorials to cover the basic messages of Anti Doping. Once you log into the ASADA e-learning page, you can make your own log in and password then come back at any time to complete all or part of a tutorial. If you wish to spread the Anti Doping message, you can complete a seventh tutorial to become an Anti Doping Advocate.
Testing
ASADA's testing programme and testing guide.
Sample collection (also known as doping control or drug testing) is an essential part of promoting and protecting doping-free sport. It is the process to detect and/or deter the use of a prohibited substance, or prohibited method, by an athlete.

Whereabouts
Athlete Whereabouts, RTP and DTP.
Athletes who are part of the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) need to let us know where they are going to be, at specific times, so ASADA can perform no-advance notice testing.
In Australia, ASADA’s role is to conduct the Results Management Process and to present information to the independent Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel about a potential violation of the Code.
There are 6 areas under this link: violations, sanctions, process, counselling, policies and the World Anti-Doping Code.
