INTERNATIONAL WATERSKI & WAKEBOARD FEDERATION
ANTI-DOPING INFORMATION
Updated March 2013
The IWWF has been signed up to the World Anti Doping
Code for several years and is committed to drug free sport in all forms of water
ski and wakeboard.
This page can assist athletes, coaches and Federations
in finding all the necessary information they may need in order to avoid using
any banned substances.
Athletes are urged to follow links to the World
Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) where a huge amount of
information can be found on this subject.

2. THERAPEUTIC USE EXEMPTIONS (TUE)
The International Standard for
Granting Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) developed by the World Anti-Doping
Agency provides the framework for athletes to use medicines on the ‘Prohibited
List’ to treat legitimate medical conditions.
This is important because athletes, like everyone
else, may suffer from illnesses (for example, asthma) that require them to take
particular medications. Provided that the need for medications is genuine, and
subject to specific criteria, the use of medications should not impact on the
ability of athletes to play sport. Athletes that have a duly authorized TUE
will not be considered to have committed an Anti-Doping rule violation
following a positive test result for the approved medication so long as the
conditions of the TUE were fully met.
For example, one of basic rules is that all glucocorticosteroids are prohibited
when they are administered by oral, intravenous, intramuscular or rectal
routes. Administration of glucocorticosteroids
by systemic route is an indication for standard TUE application. Glucocorticosteroids administered by local route are not
prohibited starting in January 01, 2011.
All beta-2 agonists, including all optical
isomers (e.g. d- and l-) where relevant, are prohibited except inhaled
salbutamol (maximum 1600 micrograms over 24 hours), inhaled formoterol
(maximum delivered dose 54 micrograms over 24 hours) and salmeterol
when taken by inhalation in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommended
therapeutic regimen.
The
TUE standard is an integral part of the International Convention against Doping
in Sport because it is fundamental to international harmonization in the fight
against doping in sport. Adherence to this standard ensures that the process
for granting TUEs is the same across all sports organizations and countries.
