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).

Testing

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.
Anti Doping Rule Violations (ARV)
Under the World Anti-Doping Code there are ten possible Anti-Doping Rule Violations.
ALL ABOUT SUBSTANCES
Some drugs, medications and substances are banned in sport, as are some methods. Athletes competing in sports governed by a World Anti-Doping Code complaint anti-doping policy need to be aware that they cannot just take any drug or medication, or even use certain methods.
