There may be situations where an athlete has an illness or medical condition that requires them to use a prohibited substance or method.
A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) permits an athlete to use an otherwise prohibited substance or method, for therapeutic purposes, whilst continuing to compete in their chosen sport. At the point that you are prescribed with any medication (or purchase any medication over-the-counter), you should check the anti-doping status of that medication on Global DRO.
If the medication or method of treatment you need is prohibited, then use the UKAD TUE Wizard online to find out when and how to apply for a TUE.

🗺️📍 Athlete whereabouts are an essential part of the anti-doping process, helping @ukantidoping to safeguard #CleanSport.
The Whereabouts system allows UKAD and other testing agencies to test athletes with no advanced notice. It’s therefore vital that you keep your Whereabouts up to date and that you are where you say you will be!
If you are asked to provide Whereabouts information and fail to do so or are not where you said you would be, you risk receiving a Whereabouts Failure and possibly a ban from sport.
If you have questions about Whereabouts, you can find all the answers by searching 🔎 UKAD Whereabouts
