▪ Prohibited at all times (e.g. EPO) vs in-competition only (e.g. cannabinoids) ▪ Revised every year by WADA – Effective 1 January ▪ Available online here ▪ Useful Resources: Globaldro.com and download the Antidoping.ch App ▪ Open categories

2.2 Strict Liability

“ YOU and ONLY YOU are responsible for what goes into your body.”

▪ Violation regardless of Intention ▪ Take extreme caution before taking any Medication/Supplement.

Recreational Drugs

• If Cocaine or Cannabis is found in a sample you provide in-competition, you

will be sanctioned even if you used the substance out-of-competition.

• It is very hard to predict how long the traces will remain in your body.
• The use of Cocaine and Cannabis (even out-of-competition) is therefore very

risky.

2.3 Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)

“A TUE is special permission to use a prohibited substance or method for a legitimate medical condition.”

▪ Managed by NADO/UCI

− If the need arises during an EWS Event→ contact TUE@cadf.ch − If you are included in the UCI RTP → contact TUE@cadf.ch − Otherwise → Contact your NADO

▪ TUE application shall be made and granted before starting the treatment (unless in case of true emergencies) ▪ UCI TUE Committee: Independent Medical Experts ▪ Further information on TUE: UCI/NADO website

11

2.3 TUEs Requirements

– a. The Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method in question is needed to treat an acute or chronic medical condition, such that the Rider would experience a significant impairment to health if the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method were to be withheld. – b. The Therapeutic Use of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method is highly unlikely to produce any additional enhancement of performance beyond what might be anticipated by a return to the Rider’s normal state of health following the treatment of the acute or chronic medical condition. – c. There is no reasonable Therapeutic alternative to the Use of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method. – d. The necessity for the Use of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method is not a consequence, wholly or in part, of the prior Use (without a TUE) of a substance or method which was prohibited at the time of such Use.
