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. 10
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 . 12
