INTERNATIONAL WATERSKI & WAKEBOARD FEDERATION
ANTI-DOPING INFORMATION
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 both optical isomers where
relevant) are prohibited except salbutamol (maximum 1600 micrograms over 24
hours) and salmeterol when taken by inhalation in accordance with the
manufacturers’ recommended therapeutic regime.
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.
