The Therapeutic Use Exemption specifies the substance, its dosage and route of administration, or the method to which it relates. Any change to any of these elements shall be requested from the President of the Agency, who shall determine whether a new application for authorisation is required.
The authorisation shall specify the duration for which it is granted and shall automatically expire at the end of the period for which it was granted, without any further notification or formality being required.
An athlete who needs to continue to use the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method after the expiry date shall submit a new application for a Therapeutic Use Exemption in sufficient time for the Agency to be able to render a decision before the expiry date.
Where an authorisation has been issued for a chronic medical condition, any new prescription of the substance during the authorised period, as well as any medical examination or additional documentation, must be communicated to the President of the French Anti-Doping Agency, at his request, within the time limit set by him. If the beneficiary of the authorisation fails to comply with this requirement, the authorisation is revoked.
