Ottawa – August 21, 2024 – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has consolidated information for Team Canada athletes and support personnel about therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs), whereabouts information, Games-time doping control and supplements for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Online learning about anti-doping and competition manipulation is also available. For more information, go to www.cces.ca/paris2024.
Check your medications
Paralympic athletes and support personnel are advised to verify whether medications contain substances on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List and require a therapeutic use exemption. To support this, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has launched a new Medication Check webpage that redirects to Global DRO for its search results.
As part of its anti-doping education efforts at the Games, the IPC will be promoting the Medication Check page at the WADA athlete engagement booth in the Paralympic Village and in doping control stations.
The IPC’s Medication Check is particularly helpful for athletes from countries that don’t have an online tool for checking medication. As one of four partners behind Global DRO, the CCES has offered this service to check Canadian medications for many years and Canadian para-athletes can continue to access Global DRO directly for their medication checks.
Congratulations and good luck to all Team Canada athletes competing in Paris!
