2014 Anti-doping information
Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)
Dear Sir or Madam,
The FIM Anti-Doping Code (CAD) which will come into force on 1st January 2014, has
been revised in accordance with the 2014 WADA World Anti-Doping Code and the
new International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE).
The highlights of the "List of prohibited substances & methods" for 2014 are the
following:
You still need a "TUE" (Therapeutic Use Exemption) for:
ALL treatments involving the use of a prohibited substance or method
detailed as such in the "List of prohibited substances & methods".
(Please refer to the FIM Anti-Doping Code, available on
http://www.fim-live.com/en/fim/fim-organisation/medical/ride-clean-corn…
including:
Terbutaline (Beta-2 agonists for use in Asthma)
Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) (prohibited in-competition) when administered by
oral, intravenous, intramuscular or rectal routes
However you NO LONGER need a "TUE" for the following
specific substance that is no longer prohibited:
Formoterol by inhalation up to a maximum daily therapeutic dose of 54
micrograms over 24 hours (if more than 40ng/ml Formoterol is detected in
urine, this will be considered a Adverse Analytical Finding (positive case),
unless the rider proves, through a controlled pharmacokinetic study, that the
abnormal result was the consequence of the use of the stated therapeutic inhaled dose.
NO TUE is required for:
Salbutamol by inhalation (max. 1600mcg over 24 hours) & Salmeterol by
inhalation (inhaled Beta-2 agonists for use in Asthma)
Glucocorticosteroids (GCS)
administered by intraarticular (in the joint), periarticular (around the
joint), peritendinous (around the tendon), epidural (in the spine),
intradermal (in the skin) and by inhalation routes
Salbutamol exceeding 1000 nanograms per millitre in the urine will still be
prohibited. In such cases, there will be a presumption that the substance was
not taken by inhalation and the rider will have the responsibility to
demonstrate through a controlled pharmacokinetic study that the level found in
his urine was the result of therapeutic inhaled use (maximum 1600
micrograms over 24 hours).
Topical use of Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) (=not prohibited)
Topical GCS preparations when used topically (auricular, buccal,
dermatological, gingival, nasal, ophthalmic and perianal disorders) are not
prohibited and do not require a TUE.
Pseudoephedrine: is prohibited above 150 microgramms per millilitre.
We would strongly advise you to check for and avoid this substance as it is a
common ingredient of freely available and frequently used preparations for the
treatment of colds and flu.
Intravenous infusions
Intravenous infusions and/or injections greater than 50ml per 6 hour period
are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital
admissions or clinical investigations.
Stimulants
As a reminder, some stimulants may be available under several other names, for
example “methylhexaneamine”, sometimes presented as dimethylamylamine,
pentylamine, geranamine, Forthane, 2- amino-4-methylhexane, geranium root extract
or geranium oil.
REMINDER:
1) What is a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)?
Riders, like anyone else, may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take
particular medications. If the substance(s) a rider is required to take to treat an
illness or condition is contained in the List of prohibited substances, then a TUE is
required and after examination and approval by the FIM TUE Board a TUE
certificate is issued which authorises the rider to take the required medicine.
Riders have the possibility to apply for, in association with their physician, a
Therapeutic Use Exemption "TUE", i.e. permission to use, for therapeutic
purposes only, substances or methods contained in the list of prohibited substances
or methods whose use is otherwise forbidden.
2) What are the criteria for granting a TUE?
The criteria are:
a) The rider 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.
b) 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.
c) There is no reasonable therapeutic alternative to the use of the
otherwise prohibited substance or method.
d) The necessity for the use of the otherwise prohibited substance or
method cannot be 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 use.
3) Riders competing in FIM World Championships or Prize events
According to article 4.4.2 of the FIM Anti-Doping Code, riders competing in FIM
World Championship or Prize events shall submit to the FIM Executive Secretariat a
TUE application using the appropriate FIM TUE application form.
The application form must be LEGIBLE, in either English or French and submitted
no later than 30 days before their participation at the event.
A TUE application form can be downloaded from the FIM website:
http://www.fim-live.com/en/fim/fim-organisation/medical/ride-clean-corn….
The TUE application shall include a complete medical file including the results of
all examinations, laboratory investigations and imaging studies relevant to the
application with a clear explanation of why an alternate non-prohibited medication
is not being prescribed.
4) FIM TUE Board
A board of doctors will promptly evaluate the requests of riders competing in FIM
World Championships or Prize events in strict accordance with the "International
Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemption "TUE" (available on the WADA site
www.wada-ama.org) and, if the exemption is granted, will send to the rider the
"Certificate of Approval for Therapeutic Use" which will state an expiry date. In
case of refusal the rider will be informed accordingly.
Applications for TUEs 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 the TUE Board to consider, an application prior to
doping control.
5) Riders competing in an International or National event
According to Article 4.4.3 of the FIM Anti-Doping Code, riders who need to use a
Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method for therapeutic reasons must obtain a
TUE from their National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) or other body designated
by their FMN, as required under the rules of their NADO. The FMN shall promptly
report any such TUE to the FIM and to WADA.
We would request that this information relating to the TUE procedures be
distributed to all those concerned at the earliest opportunity. Further information
can be obtained from the WADA site www.wada-ama.org and FIM web site
http://www.fim-live.com/en/fim/fim-organisation/medical/ride-clean-corn….
Please direct all queries concerning Anti-Doping issues to the FIM Anti-Doping
Coordinator by e-mail to: evelyne.magnin@fim.ch.
We thank you for your attention and remain at your disposal for any further assistance.
Yours sincerely,
