INAS Anti Doping Policy

In  2004, INAS FID adopted the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) Code as the basis for the fight against doping in sport.

INAS FID treats the issue of doping very seriously. Competitors, Coaches, Member Organisations, Event Organisers and Sport Technical Officers should read and understand the WADA procedures carefully and ensure they are upheld at every opportunity.

This booklet provides an overview of the Code, and includes athlete rights and responsibilities relating to the doping control process.

Prohibited Substances and Methods



 Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)
Athletes, like all others, may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take particular medications. If the medication an athlete is required to take to treat an illness or condition happens to fall under the Prohibited List, a Therapeutic Use Exemption may give that athlete the authorization to take the needed medicine.

Once completed, TUE applications should be sent to the INAS Anti-Doping Committee.

Forms should reach the INAS Medical Officer NO LESS THAN 21 DAYS BEFORE COMPETITION. It is advisable to apply sooner where possible.

TUE’s are granted for a specific medication with a defined dosage. They are also granted for a specific period of time and do expire. The athlete needs to comply with all the treatment conditions outlined in the TUE Application.
