THERAPEUTIC USE EXEMPTIONS

An approved Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is required before using a prohibited substance or method in sport in order to avoid an anti-doping
rule violation. Please review WADA, USADA, and your respective International Federation rules and
procedures for fling TUE applications.

Diuretic/Threshold Warning: The use of any quantity of a substance subject to threshold limits(i.e. formoterol, salbutamol, cathine, ephedrine,methylephedrine, and pseudoephedrine) in conjunction with a diuretic or masking agent requires a TUE for both the threshold substance AND the diuretic or masking agent. This is true even if you are using a “threshold substance” under the permitted threshold and/or as prescribed .
 
Props to you TS, for making all this effort, I applaud you

Finished & I have no intention to keep this list up to date.

@dimspace you can keep it up to date if you want to.
 
psychadelics aren't Illegal?

so a fighter could just take a microdose of LSD or mushrooms and fight?

that's pretty Interesting
 
According to that list you'd get "popped" for taking some freaking Sudafed. Doesn't say anything about Lortab though. It'd be funny to take 20 and enter the cage
some decongestants have stimulants in them, but thats only an issue in competition and its easy enough to get a tue
 
Finished & I have no intention to keep this list up to date.

@dimspace you can keep it up to date if you want to.

nah, its easier just to look at the prohibited list

my concern with duplicating list like this is that someone could come across it, think it is up to date and accurate and end up taking something not listed but that is prohibited.

for that reason i would be tempted to include a disclaimer tat the top stating it is only accurate as of 14th September 2017 and for an up to date list consult https://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibited-list
