Following an amendment to the Irish Anti-Doping Rules by the Council on 6th April 2010, the Irish Sports Council has established a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) Policy based on the level that an athlete competes at; the level an athlete competes at determines whether the athlete needs to apply to the Irish Sports Council or their International Federation for a TUE, and if applying to the Irish Sports Council whether the athlete must apply for a TUE before using a prohibited substance (a Pre-Test TUE) or has the option of applying for a TUE retroactively following a positive drug test (a Post-Test TUE). Use the TUE Flowchart to ascertain if you the athlete need to apply to your International Federation or to the Irish Sports Council, and also if you must apply for a Pre-Test TUE or a Post-Test TUE.
