  • Do the TUEC have the athlete present

    No, they take evidence from the referring doctor, which can be quite detailed medical history. In the specific instance of asthma medication, in order to get a TUE for one of the drugs which needs one, you have to demonstrate that you have tried the ones which don't need a TUE and they don't work for the athlete in question. Similar tests apply for other conditions, since a TUE is only ever issued if there is no alternative effective treatment which doesn't require a TUE.

  • Problem for me is, that until I had my daughter I used to believe medicine was fairly clear cut. Since then it has become very apparent it's not.

    The above still has plenty of grey areas for me. I've really lost faith in anti doping on the whole.
