Copy-paste saadud e-kirjast:

Dear member federations,

Please forward this email to the relevant people in your federation.

Please remember to make sure that all your athletes that compete in IOF Events (Junior World Championships, World Cup, World Championships, Regional Continental Championships in any of the four recognised orienteering disciplines) know that if they use or intend to use any medication, they will need to check that it is allowed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The WADA List of Prohibited Substances and Methods can be found here:

If any of the medication an athlete intends to use is on the list and marked prohibited, the athlete then needs to apply for a TUE before starting to use the medicine:

If you or the athletes have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
