Essay over Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs): Fair Use or Legal Doping?

The Paradox of Medical Necessity in Elite Athletics

The intersection of clinical medicine and elite performance is increasingly fraught with ethical complexity. Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) serve as a regulatory mechanism allowing athletes to consume substances otherwise prohibited by anti-doping authorities, provided they have a documented medical requirement.
