Live LawThe Kerala High Court on Thursday sought Centre's response to a petition filed by athlete and 2018 Asian Games Gold Medalist Vismaya V. K. against the denial of exemption given to her in doping test. As per the petitioner, on the next day of the test itself she submitted a Therapeutic Use Exemption application along with supporting medical documents. However, the application for TUE was rejected saying that it did not fulfill any requirements as mentioned in Article 4.1 of the Worls Anti-Doping Code International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemption as it was not an emergency condition. “While Article 4.1 of the WADC requires” no reasonable therapeutic alternative” for TUE approval, infertility treatments such as clomiphene are often the primary medical option for women attempting pregnancy.
