We are pleased to announce the creation of the IPSC Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) Committee, a joint effort between IPSC and WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) to properly regulate legitimate drug use for therapeutic reasons within our sport.
What is a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)?
Athletes may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take medications or undergo procedures. If the medication or method an athlete is required to use to treat an illness or condition is prohibited as per the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Prohibited List, a TUE may give that athlete the authorization to use that substance or method while competing without invoking an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) and applicable sanction.
Applications for TUEs are evaluated by a panel of physicians, the TUE Committee (TUEC).
