x Do not mail your TUE Form with your entry, it is your personal document, you will only need it if you are selected to attend doping control at the championship.
x Only you are responsible for any item of food or medication you put into your mouth. x The European Masters Committee (the EMC) will conduct doping control at every European
Masters Weightlifting Championship. Anyone using banned substances will eventually, at one time or another, find that they are selected for testing.
x It is possible to find the list of banned substances from your own Federation or from the
IWF or WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) websites.
x At all European Masters Championships the EMC intends to run educational seminars to
help athletes and to enable them to understand that if they are taking prescribed medication they can still test positive. The seminars are designed to help athletes taking prescribed medicine, but we urge all athletes to attend at least one seminar.
x Athletes selected for doping control must declare every item of medication, vitamin, or
supplement, e.g. aspirin, paracetamol, creatin, and all prescribed or non prescribed medication. Failure to do so might be disdadvantageous if the athlete gives an “adverse finding”.
x At this moment in time many Master athletes must take medication for their well being and
it is recognised that everyone has the right to be ill and take medication for the care of, and to cure sickness.
x The medication causing most problems is the medication used for the treatment of stress and
high blood pressure. These medicines come under a variety of names and are mostly diuretics and therefore mostly on the banned list.
x If you are being prescribed this medicine (and others) by your doctor and your doctor will
not prescribe an alternative medicine that is not on the banned list then you must complete an IWF MastersTUE. You should also have a medical certificate completed and signed by your doctor in English. A TUE is a Therapeutic Use Exemption form which enables your doctor to enter the details of the prescribed medicine and for him to sign it and date it. It can be found with this entry form or you will be able to get one from the current Championship Organising Committee.
x You must bring the completed IWF Masters TUE form and medical certificate with you to
all championships just in case you are selected for testing. These will be used for verification purposes should you give an “adverse analytical finding” if tested.
x It is not necessary to complete a TUE form if you are not taking any prescribed medication. x It is not the intention of the EMC to persecute Masters – only to help, but first of all you have to help yourself and you must cooperate.
x Always remember – if you take drugs to enhance your performance, you are a cheat ! x Visit the European Masters website at – www.euromasterswl.weebly.com
