#76 - Testosterone in competition: What's allowed? | NADA experts Dr. Eva Bunthoff & Jutta Müller-Reul at Men's Health
In sports, testosterone replacement therapy is generally considered doping, even if medically prescribed. Testosterone may only be used legally with a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). A TUE is a medical exemption that allows athletes to use a normally prohibited substance when it is medically necessary and no alternative treatment is available. In Germany, applications for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) are submitted to the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA). There, the case is reviewed medically and according to regulations. After completion of the process, the result is forwarded to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). WADA verifies whether the decision complies with the worldwide Anti-Doping Code. WADA thus assumes an important compliance function. It ensures that Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) are assessed internationally according to the same criteria and that no national differences or special regulations arise. Particularly with sensitive substances like testosterone, it is rigorously checked whether each TUE is correctly justified, medically warranted, and approved in accordance with regulations. WADA can also revoke TUEs retroactively if they were not issued in accordance with the rules. This is intended to prevent national agencies from being too lenient or athletes from receiving unjustified advantages. The goal is the global harmonization of rules and the assurance of fairness and equal opportunities in competitive sports. In the new episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Dr. Eva Bunthoff, board member of NADA, and Jutta Müller-Reul from the medical field about testosterone, doping controls, TUEs, and the role of WADA. The two experts provide insights into medical and sports law practices and explain how responsible testosterone therapy, health, and fairness in competitive sports are interconnected. Listen now and find out how NADA and WADA work together, what criteria must be met for a TUE, and why transparency and clear rules are crucial for the integrity of sport.
