"TUE-Certificate" Information
Following the legal validity of the new WADA-Antidoping Code the IAAF is revising the "Certificate of Approval for Therapeutic Use". WMA will apply the same "Certificate" and is therefore awaiting the finalisation of the”new” certificate.
All athletes concerned will then be sent this certificate by Dr. Pier Luigi Fiorella, WMA TUE responsible person.

LAHTI 2009 RESULTS BOOKLET
It had been brought to the notice of WMA that athletes who had paid for copies of the results booklet from the 2009 Stadia Championships in Lahti, are now being invoiced for an extra payment of €25.00 as shown on the sample invoice left.
Please note that this was not authorised by WMA or told to WMA before hand, and I have been asked to confirm that any such invoice to athletes should not be paid, but should be discarded.There should apparently have been a separate note from the LOC with the invoice to explain the extra charge, but this of course still would not make it correct.
On behalf of the WMA Council we apologise for the concerns to athletes in this matter and hope that this will resolves the problems faced by athletes receiving this invoice.
Yours truly,
Winston Thomas
WMA Secretary
