THERAPEUTIC USE EXEMPTIONS
If an athlete is tested, any substances that an athlete may be taking must be declared in testing paperwork, in addition to any TUE that the athlete has. Athletes may at times need to use a prohibited medication to treat a legitimate medical condition. A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is an exemption that allows an athlete to use, for therapeutic purposes only, an otherwise prohibited substance or method (of administering a substance) which may be present during competition.

TESTING
http://www.asada.gov.au/testing/index.html
Sample collection (also known as doping control or drug testing) is an essential part of promoting and protecting doping-free sport.
Sample collection detects the use of a prohibited substance, or prohibited method, by an athlete. Sample collection consists of testing by an anti-doping organisation (such as ASADA) and sample analysis, by a laboratory accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Sample collection can be either in-competition or out-of competition (such as at an athlete’s training venue or home). The majority of testing is carried out with no advance-notice. The test can involve the collection of urine, blood or both.
