We would like to remind athletes and sports medicine professionals that the 2025 Prohibited List will come into effect on January 1st, 2025. It is essential to always check your medications against the updated list before using them, which can be found at list.rusada.ru. This list already takes into account the latest international standards for 2025.
In 2024, we noticed an increase in applications for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) from Russian athletes. Most commonly, athletes applied for insulin usage. More than half of all TUE requests were submitted by general practitioners instead of sports medicine specialists.
To support this trend and assist doctors in improving their knowledge of anti-doping regulations, RUSADA has created an anti-doping training course for general practitioners that will be available in early 2025. RUSADA is always here to provide assistance and advice regarding TUEs and prohibited substances in sports. You can reach us at +7 (966) 183-47-94 (call, SMS, WhatsApp).
In addition, you can always participate in a monthly webinar dedicated to TUE or watch recordingsof webinars on TUE related topics such as bronchial asthma and growth hormone deficiency.
