4.0 Criteria for granting a therapeutic use exemption
A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may be granted to an Athlete permitting the use of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method contained in the Prohibited List. An application for a TUE will be reviewed by a Therapeutic Use Exemption Committee (TUEC). The TUEC will be appointed by an Anti-Doping Organization. An exemption will be granted only in strict accordance with the following criteria:
[Comment: This standard applies to all Athletes as defined by and subject to the Code i.e. able-bodied athletes and athletes with disabilities. This Standard will be applied according to an individual’s circumstances. For example, an exemption that is appropriate for an athlete with a disability may be inappropriate for other athletes.]
4.1 The Athlete should submit an application for a TUE no less than 21 days before participating in an Event.
4.2 The Athlete would experience a significant impairment to health if the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method were to be withheld in the course of treating an acute or chronic medical condition.
4.3 The therapeutic use of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method would produce no additional enhancement of performance other than that which might be anticipated by a return to a state of normal health following the treatment of a legitimate medical condition. The use of any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method to increase “low-normal” levels of any endogenous hormone is not considered an acceptable therapeutic intervention.
4.4 There is no reasonable therapeutic alternative to the use of the otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method.
4.5 The necessity for the use of the otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method cannot be a consequence, wholly or in part, of prior non-therapeutic use of any substance from the Prohibited List.
4.6 The TUE will be cancelled by the granting body, if
(a) the Athlete does not promptly comply with any requirements or conditions imposed by the Anti-Doping Organization granting the exemption;
(b) the term for which the TUE was granted has expired;
(c) the Athlete is advised that the TUE has been withdrawn by the Anti-Doping Organization.
[Comment: Each TUE will have a specified duration as decided upon by the TUEC. There may be cases when a TUE has expired or has been withdrawn and the Prohibited Substance subject to the TUE is still present in the Athlete’s body. In such cases, the Anti-Doping Organization conducting the initial review of an adverse finding will consider whether the finding is consistent with expiry or withdrawal of the TUE.]
4.7 An application for a TUE will not be considered for retroactive approval except in cases where:
(a) emergency treatment or treatment of an acute medical condition was necessary; or
(b) due to exceptional circumstances, there was insufficient time or opportunity for an applicant to submit, or a TUEC to consider, an application prior to Doping Control.
[Comment: Medical Emergencies or acute medical situations requiring administration of an otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method before an application for a TUE can be made, are uncommon. Similarly, circumstances requiring expedited consideration of an application for a TUE due to imminent competition are infrequent. Anti-Doping Organizations granting TUEs should have internal procedures which permit such situations to be addressed.]
5.0. Confidentiality of information
5.1 The applicant must provide written consent for the transmission of all information pertaining to the application to members of the TUEC and, as required, other independent medical or scientific experts, or to all necessary staff involved in the management, review or appeal of TUEs.
Should the assistance of external, independent experts be required, all details of the application will be circulated without identifying the Athlete involved in the Athlete’s care. The applicant must also provide written consent for the decisions of the TUEC to be distributed to other relevant Anti-Doping Organizations under the provisions of the Code.
5.2 The members of the TUECs and the administration of the Anti-Doping Organization involved will conduct all of their activities in strict confidence. All members of a TUEC and all staff involved will sign confidentiality agreements. In particular they will keep the following information confidential:
(a) all medical information and data provided by the Athlete and physician(s) involved in the Athlete’s care;
(b) all details of the application including the name of the physician(s) involved in the process.
Should the Athlete wish to revoke the right of the TUEC or the WADA TUEC to obtain any health information on his/her behalf, the Athlete must notify his/her medical practitioner in writing of the fact. As a consequence of such a decision, the Athlete will not receive approval for a TUE or renewal of an existing TUE.
6.0 Therapeutic use exemption committees (TUECs)
TUECs shall be constituted and act in accordance with the following guidelines:
6.1 TUECs should include at least three physicians with experience in the care and treatment of Athletes and a sound knowledge of clinical, sports and exercise medicine. In order to ensure a level of independence of decisions, a majority of the members of the TUEC should not have any official responsibility in the Anti-Doping Organization. All members of a TUEC will sign a conflict of interest agreement. In applications involving Athletes with disabilities, at least one TUEC member must possess specific experience with the care and treatment of Athletes with disabilities.
6.2 TUECs may seek whatever medical or scientific expertise they deem appropriate in reviewing the circumstances of any application for a TUE.
6.3 The WADA TUEC shall be composed following the criteria set out in Article 6.1. The WADA TUEC is established to review on its own initiative TUE decisions granted by Anti-Doping Organizations. As specified in Article 4.4 of the Code, the WADA TUEC, upon request by Athletes who have been denied TUEs by an Anti-Doping Organization will review such decisions with the power to reverse them.
7.0 Therapeutic use exemption (TUE) application process

7.4 An Athlete may not apply to more than one Anti-Doping Organization for a TUE. The application must identify the Athlete’s sport and, where appropriate, discipline and specific position or role.
7.5 The application must list any previous and/or current requests for permission to use an otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method, the body to whom that request was made, and the decision of that body.
7.6 The application must include a comprehensive medical history and the results of all examinations, laboratory investigations and imaging studies relevant to the application.
7.7 Any additional relevant investigations, examinations or imaging studies requested by the TUEC of the Anti-Doping Organization will be undertaken at the expense of the applicant or his/her national sport governing body.
7.8 The application must include a statement by an appropriately qualified physician attesting to the necessity of the otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method in the treatment of the Athlete and describing why an alternative, permitted medication cannot, or could not, be used in the treatment of this condition.
7.9 The dose, frequency, route and duration of administration of the otherwise Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method in question must be specified.
7.10 Decisions of the TUEC, should be completed within 30 days of receipt of all relevant documentation and will be conveyed in writing to the Athlete by the relevant Anti- Doping Organization. Where a TUE has been granted to an Athlete in the Anti-Doping Organization Registered Testing Pool, the Athlete and WADA will be provided promptly with an approval which includes information pertaining to the duration of the exemption and any conditions associated with the TUE.
7.11 (a) Upon receiving a request by an Athlete for review, as specified in Article 4.4 of the Code, the WADA TUEC will, as specified in Article 4.4 of the Code, be able to reverse a decision on a TUE granted by an Anti-Doping Organization. The Athlete shall provide to the WADA TUEC all the information for a TUE as submitted initially to the Anti-Doping Organization accompanied by an application fee. Until the review process has been completed, the original decision remains in effect. The process should not take longer than 30 days following receipt of the information by WADA.
(b) WADA can undertake a review at any time. The WADA TUEC will complete its review within 30 days.
7.12 If the decision regarding the granting of a TUE is reversed on review, the reversal shall not apply retroactively and shall not disqualify the Athlete’s results during the period that the TUE had been granted and shall take effect no later than 14 days following notification of the decision to the Athlete.
8.0 Abbreviated therapeutic use exemption (ATUE) application process
8.1 It is acknowledged that some substances included on the List of Prohibited Substances are used to treat medical conditions frequently encountered in the Athlete population. In such cases, a full application as detailed in section 4 and section 7 is unnecessary. Accordingly an abbreviated process of the TUE is established.

Da bi dosegle namen konvencije, se pogodbenice zavezujejo, da bodo:
(a) sprejele ustrezne ukrepe na državni in mednarodni ravni, skladne z načeli kodeksa;
(b) spodbujale vse oblike mednarodnega sodelovanja, katerega cilj je varovanje športnikov, etika v športu in skupna uporaba izsledkov raziskav;
(c) pospeševale sodelovanje med državami pogodbenicami in vodilnimi organizacijami pri boju proti uporabi nedovoljenih snovi v športu, predvsem s SPA.

1. Da bi lahko usklajevale boj proti uporabi nedovoljenih snovi v športu na državni in mednarodni ravni, se države pogodbenice zavezujejo, da bodo spoštovale načela kodeksa kot podlago za ukrepe iz 5. člena te konvencije. Nobena določba v tej konvenciji ne preprečuje državam pogodbenicam, da bi sprejele dodatne ukrepe, ki se dopolnjujejo s kodeksom.
2. Kodeks in najnovejša različica dodatkov 2 in 3 sta priložena v vednost in nista sestavni del te konvencije. Po mednarodnem pravu dodatka ne zavezujeta držav pogodbenic.
3. Priloge k temu sporazumu so sestavni del te konvencije.

Pri izpolnjevanju obveznosti iz te konvencije se vsaka država pogodbenica zavezuje, da bo sprejela ustrezne ukrepe. Ukrepi lahko vključujejo zakonodajo, predpise, smernice ali upravne postopke.

Ta konvencija ne vpliva na tiste pravice in obveznosti držav pogodbenic, ki izhajajo iz drugih že sklenjenih sporazumov in so usklajene z vsebino in namenom te konvencije. Ta določba ne vpliva na pravice, ki jih po tej konvenciji uživajo druge države pogodbenice, in ne vpliva na izpolnjevanje njihovih obveznosti po tej konvenciji.

Države pogodbenice zagotavljajo uporabo te konvencije predvsem z notranjim usklajevanjem. Da bi izpolnile obveznosti po tej konvenciji, se države pogodbenice lahko oprejo na protidopinške organizacije, pa tudi na športne organe in organizacije.

1. Kadar je ustrezno, države pogodbenice sprejmejo ukrepe za omejevanje dostopnosti prepovedanih snovi in postopkov, da bi športnikom omejile njihovo uporabo v športu, razen če taka uporaba temelji na terapevtski izjemi. Med temi ukrepi so ukrepi zoper nedovoljeno prodajo športnikom in zaradi tega ukrepi za nadzor proizvodnje, pretoka, uvoza, razdeljevanja in prodaje.
2. Kadar je primerno, države pogodbenice sprejmejo ali spodbujajo ustrezne organizacije v svoji pristojnosti, da sprejmejo ukrepe, s katerimi športnikom preprečujejo in omejujejo uporabo in posedovanje prepovedanih snovi in postopkov v športu, razen če uporaba temelji na terapevtski izjemi.
3. Noben ukrep, sprejet na podlagi te konvencije, ne preprečuje, da bi bile snovi in postopki, ki so v športu sicer prepovedani ali nadzorovani, dostopni za zakonite namene.

Države pogodbenice zoper spremljajoče osebje, ki krši protidopinško pravilo ali stori drugo kaznivo dejanje, povezano z uporabo nedovoljenih snovi v športu, sprejmejo ukrepe, tudi sankcije ali kazni, same ali spodbujajo športne organizacije in protidopinške organizacije, naj sprejmejo take ukrepe.

Kadar je primerno, države pogodbenice proizvajalce in prodajalce prehranskih dodatkov spodbujajo k čim boljšemu trženju in prodaji prehranskih dodatkov ter dajejo informacije o njihovi kemijski sestavi in zagotavljanju kakovosti.

Kadar je primerno, države pogodbenice:
(a) iz svojih proračunov zagotavljajo sredstva za financiranje nacionalnega programa testiranja v vseh športnih panogah ali športnim in protidopinškim organizacijam pomagajo financirati dopinški nadzor z neposrednimi subvencijami ali donacijami ali s priznavanjem stroškov takega nadzora, kadar jim odmerjajo znesek subvencije ali donacije;
(b) sprejemajo ukrepe, s katerimi zadržijo s športom povezano finančno pomoč posameznim športnikom ali spremljajočemu osebju, ki začasno ne smejo tekmovati zaradi kršitve protidopinških pravil;
(c) delno ali v celoti zadržijo finančno ali drugo s športom povezano pomoč športni organizaciji ali protidopinški organizaciji, ki ne spoštuje kodeksa ali veljavnih protidopinških pravil, sprejetih na podlagi kodeksa.

Kadar je primerno, države pogodbenice:
(a) spodbujajo športne in protidopinške organizacije, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, da opravljajo dopinški nadzor skladno s kodeksom, vključno s testiranjem brez vnaprejšnjega obvestila, testiranjem na tekmovanju in zunaj njega, in jim tak nadzor omogočajo;
(b) spodbujajo in omogočajo, da športne in protidopinške organizacije sprejmejo sporazume, ki omogočajo, da njihove člane testirajo pooblaščene skupine za dopinški nadzor iz drugih držav;
(c) se zavezujejo, da bodo športnim in protidopinškim organizacijam, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, pomagale pri dostopu do akreditiranega laboratorija za dopinški nadzor, da bo opravil kontrolno analizo.

Države pogodbenice spodbujajo sodelovanje med protidopinškimi organizacijami, organi oblasti in športnimi organizacijami, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, ter organizacijami, ki so v pristojnosti drugih držav, da bodo na mednarodni ravni doseženi nameni te konvencije.

Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da bodo podpirale pomembno poslanstvo SPA v mednarodnem boju proti uporabi nedovoljenih snovi.

Države pogodbenice podpirajo načelo, da organi oblasti in olimpijsko gibanje financirajo odobreni letni osnovni proračun SPA.

Ob spoznanju, da je boj proti uporabi nedovoljenih snovi v športu lahko učinkovit le, kadar se športniki lahko testirajo brez vnaprejšnjega obvestila in se vzorci pravočasno pošljejo v laboratorijsko preiskavo, države pogodbenice, kadar je ustrezno in skladno z notranjim pravom in postopki:
(a) omogočijo, da SPA in protidopinške organizacije, ki delujejo skladno s kodeksom in upoštevanjem ustreznih predpisov držav gostiteljic, opravljajo dopinški nadzor njihovih športnikov na tekmovanjih ali zunaj njih na njihovem ozemlju ali drugje;
(b) omogočajo pravočasno čezmejno gibanje pooblaščenih skupin za dopinški nadzor, ko opravljajo dopinški nadzor;
(c) sodelujejo, da pospešijo pravočasno čezmejno pošiljanje ali prevoz vzorcev tako, da zagotavljajo njihovo varnost in celovitost;
(d) pomagajo pri mednarodnem usklajevanju dopinškega nadzora, ki ga opravljajo razne protidopinške organizacije, in v ta namen sodelujejo s SPA;
(e) spodbujajo sodelovanje med laboratoriji za dopinški nadzor, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, in laboratoriji, ki so v pristojnosti drugih držav pogodbenic. Države pogodbenice z akreditiranimi laboratoriji za dopinški nadzor morajo predvsem spodbujati laboratorije, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, da drugim državam pogodbenicam pomagajo pridobiti izkušnje, veščine in tehnologije, potrebne za ustanavljanje njihovih lastnih laboratorijev, če to želijo;
(f) spodbujajo in podpirajo dogovore o vzajemnem testiranju med pristojnimi protidopinškimi organizacijami skladno s kodeksom;
(g) medsebojno priznavajo postopke za dopinški nadzor in ravnanje z izsledki testiranj, vključno s sankcijami v športu, ki jih v tej zvezi izreče katera koli protidopinška organizacija in so skladne s kodeksom.

1. Ustanovljen je Sklad za odpravo uporabe nedovoljenih snovi v športu, v nadaljevanju sklad prostovoljnih prispevkov. Sklad prostovoljnih prispevkov se sestoji iz sredstev v upravljanju, določenih skladno s finančnimi predpisi Unesca. Vsi prispevki držav pogodbenic in drugih udeležencev so prostovoljni.
2. Sredstva sklada prostovoljnih prispevkov sestavljajo:
(a) prispevki držav pogodbenic;
(b) prispevki, darila ali zapuščina, ki jih dajo:
i) druge države;
ii) organizacije in programi Združenih narodov, predvsem Razvojni program Združenih narodov, ter druge mednarodne organizacije;
iii) javne ali zasebne ustanove ali posamezniki;
(c) obresti na sredstva sklada prostovoljnih prispevkov;

(e) vsi drugi viri sredstev, dovoljeni s pravilniki sklada prostovoljnih prispevkov, ki jih sprejme konferenca pogodbenic.
3. Upošteva se, da prispevki, ki jih v sklad prostovoljnih prispevkov vplačajo države pogodbenice, niso nadomestilo za obveznost držav pogodbenic, da plačajo svoj delež v letni proračun SPA.

Konferenca pogodbenic dodeljuje sredstva iz sklada prostovoljnih prispevkov za financiranje dejavnosti, ki jih sama odobri, predvsem da bi pomagali državam pogodbenicam pri razvijanju in izvajanju protidopinških programov skladno z določbami te konvencije ob upoštevanju ciljev SPA; ta sredstva se lahko uporabljajo za kritje stroškov izvajanja te konvencije. Za prispevke, vplačane v sklad prostovoljnih prispevkov, se ne smejo postavljati politični, ekonomski ali drugi pogoji.

1. Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da bodo po svojih možnostih podpirale, razvijale ali izvajale programe izobraževanja in usposabljanja o protidopinških ukrepih. Cilj teh programov je širšo športno skupnost sproti in točno obveščati o:
(a) škodi, ki jo uporaba nedovoljenih snovi povzroča etičnim vrednotam športa;
(b) posledicah uporabe nedovoljenih snovi za zdravje.
2. Programi izobraževanja in usposabljanja morajo zagotoviti, da so športniki in spremljajoče osebje, predvsem pri začetnem usposabljanju, poleg že navedenega sproti in točno obveščeni o:
(a) postopkih dopinškega nadzora;
(b) pravicah in obveznostih športnikov v zvezi s protidopinškimi ukrepi, vključno z informacijami o kodeksu in protidopinških politikah ustreznih športnih in protidopinških organizacij. Seznanjeni morajo biti s posledicami kršitve protidopinških pravil;
(c) seznamu prepovedanih snovi in postopkov ter terapevtskih izjemah;
(d) prehranskih dodatkih.

Države pogodbenice spodbujajo pristojna strokovna združenja in ustanove k razvijanju in izvajanju primernih pravil ravnanja, dobre prakse in etike, povezanih z ukrepi proti uporabi nedovoljenih snovi v športu in skladnih s kodeksom.

Države pogodbenice spodbujajo in po svojih zmožnostih podpirajo dejavno vključevanje športnikov in spremljajočega osebja v vse oblike protidopinškega dela športnih in drugih ustreznih organizacij in spodbujajo športne organizacije v svoji pristojnosti, da storijo enako.

Države pogodbenice spodbujajo športne organizacije in protidopinške organizacije, da stalno izvajajo programe izobraževanja in usposabljanja za športnike in spremljajoče osebje o vsebinah 19. člena.

Države pogodbenice sodelujejo med seboj in z ustreznimi organizacijami, da si izmenjavajo, kadar je ustrezno, informacije, strokovno znanje in izkušnje o učinkovitih protidopinških programih.

Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da bodo po svojih zmožnostih v sodelovanju s športnimi in drugimi ustreznimi organizacijami spodbujale in pospeševale protidopinške raziskave o:
(a) postopkih za preprečevanje in odkrivanje uporabe nedovoljenih snovi, vedenjskih in socialnih vidikih take uporabe ter o njenih posledicah za zdravje;
(b) načinih in sredstvih za razvijanje znanstveno utemeljenih programov fiziološkega in psihološkega usposabljanja, ki spoštujejo človekovo integriteto;
(c) uporabi vseh novih snovi in postopkov, ki so posledica napredka znanosti.

Ko spodbujajo protidopinške raziskave iz 24. člena, države pogodbenice zagotavljajo, da te raziskave:
(a) spoštujejo mednarodno priznano etično prakso;
(b) preprečujejo dajanje prepovedanih snovi in postopkov športnikom;
(c) potekajo le s potrebno previdnostjo, da se preprečita zloraba izsledkov protidopinške raziskave in njihova uporaba.

Države pogodbenice si ob upoštevanju veljavnega notranjega in mednarodnega prava izmenjavajo izsledke razpoložljivih protidopinških raziskav z drugimi državami pogodbenicami in SPA.

Države pogodbenice spodbujajo:
(a) člane znanstvenih in medicinskih skupnosti, naj skladno z načeli kodeksa opravljajo raziskave v športni znanosti;

Kadar je prepovedana snov (navedena zgoraj) lahko tudi naravni proizvod telesa, se šteje, da vzorec vsebuje tako prepovedano snov, kadar koncentracija prepovedane snovi ali presnovka oziroma označevalca in/ali katero koli drugo razmerje ali razmerja takih snovi v športnikovem vzorcu toliko odstopajo od vrednosti, ki se po navadi najdejo pri ljudeh, da ne morejo normalno endogeno nastati. Šteje se, da vzorec ne vsebuje prepovedane snovi, če športnik dokaže, da sta lahko koncentracija prepovedane snovi ali presnovka oziroma označevalca in/ali katero koli drugo razmerje takih snovi v športnikovem vzorcu posledica fiziološkega ali patološkega stanja. Laboratorij v vsakem primeru in pri vsaki koncentraciji sporoči pozitivni laboratorijski rezultat, če lahko na podlagi zanesljive analitične metode dokaže, da je prepovedana snov eksogenega izvora.
Če laboratorijski rezultat ni dokončen in ni odkrita nobena koncentracija iz prejšnjega odstavka, ustrezna protidopinška organizacija, če obstajajo zanesljivi znaki, opravi nadaljnje preiskave, kot je primerjava referenčnih steroidnih profilov, da tako ugotovi morebitno uporabo prepovedane snovi.
Če laboratorij sporoči razmerje T/E v urinu, večje od štiri (4) proti ena (1), so nadaljnje preiskave obvezne, zato da se ugotovi, ali je razmerje posledica fiziološkega ali patološkega stanja, razen če laboratorij sporoči pozitivni laboratorijski rezultat, ki z zanesljivo analitično metodo dokazuje, da je prepovedana snov eksogenega izvora.
Če se opravi preiskava, ta vsebuje pregled morebitnih prejšnjih in/ali poznejših testov. Če prejšnji testi niso na voljo, je športnik nenapovedano testiran najmanj trikrat v obdobju treh mesecev.
Če športnik odkloni sodelovanje v preiskavah, se šteje, da njegov vzorec vsebuje prepovedano snov.
2. Drugi anabolični dejavniki so med drugim:
klenbuterol, zeranol, zilpaterol.
V tem razdelku:
* »eksogeni« pomeni snov, ki je telo ni sposobno proizvajati po naravni poti;
** »endogeni« pomeni snov, ki jo je telo sposobno proizvajati po naravni poti.
S2. HORMONI IN SORODNE SNOVI
Naslednje snovi, vključno z drugimi snovmi s podobno kemijsko strukturo ali podobnim biološkim učinkom ali učinki, in njihovi sproščajoči dejavniki so prepovedani:

2. rastni hormon (hGH), inzulinu podobni rastni dejavnik (IGF-1), mehanorastni dejavniki (MGF),
3. gonadotropini (LH, hCG),
4. inzulin,
5. kortikotropini.
Če športniku ne uspe dokazati, da je bila koncentracija posledica fiziološkega ali patološkega stanja, se šteje, da vzorec vsebuje prepovedano snov (navedeno zgoraj), kadar koncentracija prepovedane snovi ali presnovka in/ali ustreznih razmerij ali označevalcev v športnikovem vzorcu toliko presega vrednosti, ki se po navadi najdejo pri ljudeh, da ne morejo normalno endogeno nastati.
Prisotnost drugih snovi s podobno kemijsko strukturo ali podobnim biološkim učinkom ali učinki, prisotnost diagnostičnih označevalcev ali sproščajočih dejavnikov hormona, navedenih zgoraj, ali kak drug rezultat, ki kaže, da je odkrita snov eksogenega izvora, se sporoči kot pozitivni laboratorijski rezultat.
S3. AGONISTI BETA-2
Vsi agonisti beta-2 skupaj z D- in L-izomeri so prepovedani. Za njihovo uporabo se zahteva priznanje terapevtske izjeme.
Za uporabo formoterola, salbutamola, salmeterola in terbutalina v obliki inhalatorjev za preprečevanje in/ali zdravljenje astme in s fizično dejavnostjo povzročene astme/bronhospazma se izjemoma zahteva priznanje terapevtske izjeme po skrajšanem postopku.
Kljub priznanju terapevtske izjeme pa se vsaka koncentracija salbutamola (prosti in glukuronid), višja od 1000 ng/ml, ki jo sporoči laboratorij, šteje za pozitivni rezultat, če športnik ne dokaže, da je nenormalni rezultat posledica terapevtske uporabe inhaliranega salbutamola.

4.0 Merila za priznanje terapevtske izjeme
Športniku se lahko prizna terapevtska izjema, s katero se dovoljuje uporaba prepovedanih snovi ali postopkov, navedenih na seznamu prepovedanih snovi in postopkov. Vlogo za terapevtsko izjemo pregleda odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme (OPTI). OPTI imenuje protidopinška organizacija. Izjema se prizna izključno v skladu z naslednjimi merili:
[Opomba: Ta standard velja za vse športnike, kot je opredeljeno v kodeksu in v skladu z njim, tj. za športnike in športnike invalide. Uporablja se glede na okoliščine posameznika. Na primer, izjema, ki je primerna za športnike invalide, je lahko neprimerna za druge športnike.]
4.1 Športnik mora vlogo za terapevtsko izjemo vložiti najmanj 21 dni pred udeležbo na športnem dogodku.
4.2 Za športnika bi prekinitev terapije s prepovedano snovjo ali postopkom med zdravljenjem akutnega ali kroničnega zdravstvenega stanja pomenila hujše poslabšanje zdravja.
4.3 Terapevtska uporaba prepovedane snovi ali postopka ne bi omogočila dodatnega izboljšanja športnega dosežka razen tistega, ki ga je mogoče pričakovati zaradi izboljšanja zdravstvenega stanja po zdravljenju potrjenega bolezenskega stanja. Uporaba katere koli prepovedane snovi ali postopka, zato da bi se zvišala »nizka normalna« raven endogenega hormona, se ne šteje za dopusten terapevtski poseg.
4.4 Za uporabo sicer prepovedane snovi ali postopka ni nobene druge utemeljene terapevtske možnosti.
4.5 Potreba, da se uporabi sicer prepovedana snov ali postopek, ne more ne deloma ne v celoti izhajati iz predhodne neterapevtske uporabe katere koli snovi s seznama prepovedanih snovi in postopkov.
4.6 Organ, ki prizna terapevtsko izjemo, jo prekliče, če:
a) športnik takoj ne izpolni morebitnih zahtev ali pogojev, ki jih nalaga protidopinška organizacija, ki prizna izjemo;
b) je rok, za katerega je bila terapevtska izjema priznana, potekel;
c) je športnik obveščen, da je protidopinška organizacija preklicala priznanje terapevtske izjeme.
[Opomba: Vsaka terapevtska izjema velja določen čas, ki ga določi OPTI. Lahko se zgodi, da je po preteku ali preklicu terapevtske izjeme prepovedana snov, za katero je veljala terapevtska izjema, še vedno v športnikovem telesu. V takih primerih protidopinška organizacija, ki opravi začetni pregled pozitivnega rezultata testa, ugotovi, ali je rezultat skladen s pretekom roka ali preklicem priznane terapevtske izjeme.]
4.7 Vloga za priznanje terapevtske izjeme za nazaj se ne upošteva, razen kadar:
(a) je bilo potrebno nujno zdravljenje ali zdravljenje akutnega zdravstvenega stanja ali
(b) zaradi izjemnih okoliščin ni bilo dovolj časa ali možnosti, da bi vlagatelj vložil ali OPTI obravnaval vlogo pred dopinško kontrolo.
[Opomba: Nujni zdravstveni primeri ali akutna zdravstvena stanja, ki zahtevajo uporabo sicer prepovedane snovi ali postopka, preden je mogoče dati vlogo za priznanje terapevtske izjeme, so redki. Prav tako se ne zgodi pogosto, da bi bilo treba vlogo za priznanje terapevtske izjeme hitro obravnavati zaradi bližajočega se tekmovanja. Protidopinške organizacije, ki priznavajo terapevtske izjeme, morajo imeti notranje postopke, ki omogočajo reševanje takih primerov.]
5.0 Zaupnost podatkov
5.1 Vlagatelj mora dati pisno soglasje, da se vsi podatki iz vloge predložijo članom OPTI in po potrebi drugim neodvisnim zdravstvenim strokovnjakom ali znanstvenikom ali vsemu osebju, ki sodeluje pri vodenju, reviziji ali pritožbi v zvezi s priznanjem terapevtske izjeme.
Če je potrebna pomoč zunanjih neodvisnih strokovnjakov, se vsi podatki iz vloge zagotovijo brez navedbe imena in priimka obravnavanega športnika. Vlagatelj mora dati tudi pisno soglasje, da se sklepi OPTI razdelijo drugim vpletenim protidopinškim organizacijam v skladu z določbami kodeksa.
5.2 Člani OPTI in uprava protidopinške organizacije, ki obravnavajo primer, opravljajo vse dejavnosti strogo zaupno. Vsi člani OPTI in vse sodelujoče osebje podpišejo izjavo o varovanju zaupnih podatkov. Zlasti ohranjajo zaupnost naslednjih podatkov:
a) vseh zdravstvenih podatkov, ki jih predložijo športnik in zdravnik ali zdravniki, ki so vključeni v oskrbo športnika;
b) vseh podatkov, navedenih v vlogi, vključno z imenom in priimkom zdravnika ali zdravnikov, ki pri tem sodelujejo.
Če želi športnik preklicati pravico OPTI ali Odbora za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA, da pridobi njegove zdravstvene podatke, mora o tem pisno obvestiti svojega zdravnika. Posledica take odločitve je, da se športniku ne prizna terapevtska izjema ali njeno podaljšanje.
6.0 Odbori za priznanje terapevtske izjeme (OPTI)
OPTI se ustanovijo in delujejo v skladu z naslednjimi smernicami:
6.1 V OPTI morajo sodelovati najmanj trije zdravniki z izkušnjami na področju oskrbe in zdravljenja športnikov ter z dobrim poznavanjem klinične medicine in medicine športa. Da bi zagotovili neodvisno sprejemanje odločitev, večina članov OPTI ne bi smela imeti nobenih uradnih dolžnosti v protidopinški organizaciji. Vsi člani OPTI podpišejo izjavo o izogibanju nasprotja interesov. Pri vlogah, ki se nanašajo na športnike invalide, mora imeti najmanj en član odbora OPTI posebne izkušnje pri oskrbi in zdravljenju športnikov invalidov.
6.2 OPTI lahko poiščejo kakršno koli medicinsko ali znanstveno mnenje strokovnjaka, ki je po njihovem mnenju potrebno pri pregledovanju okoliščin katere koli vloge za priznanje terapevtske izjeme.
6.3 Odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA je sestavljen na podlagi meril, določenih v 6.1. Odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA je ustanovljen, da na lastno pobudo pregleda priznanja terapevtskih izjem, ki so jih priznale protidopinške organizacije. Kot je določeno v četrtem odstavku 4. člena kodeksa, Odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA na prošnjo športnikov, ki jim protidopinška organizacija ni priznala terapevtske izjeme, pregleda take odločitve in jih ima pravico razveljaviti.
7.0 Vloga za priznanje terapevtske izjeme
Postopek
7.1 Terapevtska izjema se obravnava le po prejemu izpolnjenega obrazca, ki mu je treba priložiti vse ustrezne dokumente (glej dodatek 1 – obrazec za priznanje terapevtske izjeme). Postopek reševanja vloge mora dosledno potekati v skladu z načeli stroge zaupnosti zdravstvenih podatkov.
7.2 Obrazec ali obrazce za priznanje terapevtske izjeme, določene v dodatku 1, lahko protidopinške organizacije spremenijo, tako da vključijo dodatne zahteve po podatkih, ne smejo pa izpustiti nobenega dela ali točke.
7.3 Protidopinške organizacije lahko obrazec ali obrazce za priznanje terapevtske izjeme prevedejo v drug jezik ali jezike, vendar pa mora na obrazcu ostati tudi besedilo v angleškem ali francoskem jeziku.
7.4 Športnik lahko vloži vlogo za priznanje terapevtske izjeme le pri eni protidopinški organizaciji. V vlogi je treba navesti športnikovo panogo, ter če je potrebno, disciplino in poseben položaj ali vlogo.
7.5 V vlogi je treba navesti morebitne prejšnje in/ali sedanje prošnje, da se dovoli uporaba sicer prepovedane snovi ali postopka, organ, na katerega je bila prošnja naslovljena, in njegovo odločitev.
7.6 Vlagatelj mora predložiti celovito zdravstveno anamnezo in rezultate pregledov, laboratorijskih preiskav in slikanj, ki se nanašajo na vlogo.
7.7 Morebitne dodatne preiskave, pregledi ali slikanja, ki jih zahteva odbor OPTI ali protidopinška organizacija, se opravijo na stroške vlagatelja ali njegove nacionalne športne zveze.
7.8 Vloga mora vsebovati izjavo ustrezno usposobljenega zdravnika, ki potrjuje potrebo po uporabi sicer prepovedane snovi ali postopka pri zdravljenju športnika ter opisuje, zakaj pri zdravljenju tega stanja ni mogoče ali ne bi bilo mogoče uporabiti nadomestnega dovoljenega zdravila.
7.9 Navesti je treba odmerek, pogostost, način in trajanje uporabe sicer prepovedane snovi ali postopka.
7.10 Odločitve mora OPTI sprejeti v 30 dneh od prejema celotne dokumentacije, ustrezna protidopinška organizacija pa z njimi pisno seznani športnika. Kadar se terapevtska izjema prizna športniku, vključenemu v skupino športnikov za nenapovedane dopinške kontrole, se temu športniku in WADA takoj pošlje odobritev, ki vsebuje podatke o trajanju izjeme in pogojih, povezanih s priznanjem terapevtske izjeme.
7.11
(a) Ob prejemu športnikove prošnje v pregled, kot je določeno v četrtem odstavku 4. člena kodeksa, lahko Odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA, kot je določeno v četrtem odstavku 4. člena kodeksa, razveljavi odločitev o priznanju terapevtske izjeme, ki jo je priznala protidopinška organizacija. Športnik pošlje Odboru za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA vse podatke za priznanje terapevtske izjeme, ki jih je prvotno predložil protidopinški organizaciji, skupaj s pristojbino za vlogo. Dokler pregled ni končan, velja prvotna odločitev. Postopek ne sme trajati več kot 30 dni od dneva, ko WADA prejme podatke.
(b) WADA lahko začne pregled kadar koli. Odbor za priznanje terapevtske izjeme pri WADA konča pregled v 30 dneh.
7.12 Če je odločitev o priznanju terapevtske izjeme po pregledu razveljavljena, ta razveljavitev ne velja za nazaj in ne razveljavi športnikovih dosežkov v obdobju, v katerem je bila terapevtska izjema priznana, in začne veljati najpozneje 14 dni po tem, ko je športnik uradno obveščen o odločitvi.
8.0 Vloga za priznanje terapevtske izjeme
Skrajšani postopek
8.1 Priznava se, da se nekatere snovi, navedene na seznamu prepovedanih snovi in postopkov, uporabljajo za zdravljenje zdravstvenih stanj, ki so med športniki pogosta. V takih primerih vloga iz 4. in 7. razdelka ni potrebna. Zato je uveden skrajšani postopek za priznanje terapevtske izjeme.
8.2 Prepovedane snovi ali postopki, ki se s tem skrajšanim postopkom lahko dovolijo, so strogo omejeni na naslednje:
agonisti beta-2 (formoterol, salbutamol, salmeterol in terbutalin) z inhalacijo in glukokortikosteroidi z nesistemsko uporabo.
8.3 Za uporabo ene od navedenih snovi športnik pošlje protidopinški organizaciji zdravniško mnenje, ki utemeljuje potrebo po zdravljenju. Tako zdravniško mnenje iz dodatka 2 navaja diagnozo, ime zdravila, odmerek, način uporabe in trajanje zdravljenja. Če je primerno, so navedene tudi vse preiskave, opravljene za postavitev diagnoze (brez dejanskih rezultatov ali podrobnih podatkov).
8.4 Skrajšani postopek poteka na naslednji način:
(a) Odobritev uporabe prepovedanih snovi po skrajšanem postopku začne veljati, ko protidopinška organizacija prejme popolno vlogo. Nepopolno vlogo je treba vrniti vlagatelju.
(b) Ko protidopinška organizacija prejme popolno vlogo, o tem takoj obvesti športnika. Po potrebi so takoj obveščene tudi mednarodna zveza, nacionalna zveza športnika in nacionalna protidopinška organizacija. Protidopinška organizacija obvesti WADA samo, ko prejme vlogo športnika mednarodnega razreda.
(c) Vloga za priznanje terapevtske izjeme po skrajšanem postopku se ne upošteva za nazaj, razen:
– če je bilo potrebno nujno zdravljenje ali zdravljenje akutnega zdravstvenega stanja ali
– če zaradi izjemnih okoliščin ni bilo dovolj časa ali možnosti, da bi vlagatelj vložil ali OPTI prejel vlogo pred dopinško kontrolo.
8.5
