Therapeutic Use Exemptions : the World Anti-Doping Code International Standard / World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). - Montreal : WADA, 2008. - (International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE) version 3.0, effective on 1 January 2009)
The World Anti-Doping Code International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) is a level 2 mandatory International Standard developed as part of the World Anti-Doping Program.
The basis for the development of the International Standard for TUE has been a review of various procedures and protocols of International Federations, the IOC, National Anti-Doping Organizations and relevant sections in the revised International Standard for Doping Control (ISDC). A WADA expert reference group reviewed, discussed and prepared the document following wide consultation and consideration of submissions.
The official text of the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemption shall be maintained by WADA and shall be published in English and French. In the event of any conflict between the English and French versions, the English version shall prevail.
The International Standard for TUE (version 3.0) will come into effect on 1 January 2009.
