Medications
Many medications contain substances which are prohibited in sport. Any athlete who is sick or injured needs to carefully consider the medications they take to ensure they avoid prohibited substances.

Athletes can apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) if they need to take medication which is prohibited in sport. When competing at national or international level a TUE must be applied for before taking any medication.
Athletes who have a legitimate medical reason for using a prohibited substance or method that is on the List may be permitted to do so, if they meet the criteria outlined in the International Standard for Therapeutic Exemptions (ISTUE), through the TUE Application process which is outlined on the World Squash Federation website here http://www.worldsquash.org/athletes/anti-doping/anti-doping/tue-applications/
