International Federation for a TUE in accordance with the process set
out in the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions as
soon as the need arises.

If the International Federation denies the Athlete’s application, it shall
notify the Athlete promptly, with reasons.

If the International Federation grants the Athlete’s application, it shall
notify the Athlete and GMADC. If GMADC considers that the TUE
granted by the International Federation does not meet the criteria set
out in the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, it
has twenty-one (21) days from such notification to refer the matter to
WADA for review.

If GMADC refers the matter to WADA for review, the TUE granted by
the International Federation remains valid for international-level
Competition and Out-of-Competition Testing (but is not valid for
national-level Competition) pending WADA’s decision.

If GMADC does not refer the matter to WADA for review, the TUE
granted by the International Federation becomes valid for national-
level Competition as well when the twenty-one (21) day review
deadline expires.

4.4.5 Expiration, Withdrawal or Reversal of a TUE

4.4.5.1 A TUE granted pursuant to these Anti-Doping Rules: (a) shall expire
automatically at the end of any term for which it was granted, without
the need for any further notice or other formality; (b) will be withdrawn
if the Athlete does not promptly comply with any requirements or
conditions imposed by the TUEC upon grant of the TUE; (c) may be
withdrawn by the TUEC if it is subsequently determined that the
criteria for grant of a TUE are not in fact met; or (d) may be reversed
on review by WADA or on appeal.

4.4.5.2 In such event, the Athlete shall not be subject to any Consequences
based on their Use or Possession or Administration of the Prohibited
Substance or Prohibited Method in question in accordance with the
TUE prior to the effective date of expiry, withdrawal, or reversal of the
TUE. The review pursuant to Article 5.1.1.1 of the International
Standard for Results Management of an Adverse Analytical Finding,
reported shortly after the TUE expiry, withdrawal, or reversal, shall
include consideration of whether such finding is consistent with Use of
the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method prior to that date, in
which event no anti-doping rule violation shall be asserted.

4.4.6 Reviews and Appeals of TUE Decisions

24 [Comment to Article 4.4.4.2: The International Federation and GMADC may agree that GMADC will consider TUE applications
on behalf of the International Federation.]
