The FEI warnes that athletes who take regular medication should recheck their medication against the 2023 List. In case they take a medication that has changed status (is now prohibited) they should apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) where necessary. Athlete support personnel should ensure they are familiar with the 2023 List and its changes.
