Glucocorticosteroids
Players are no longer required to submit a TUE for non-systemic glucocorticosteroids but they must submit a Declaration of Use.
Players in the International or National Registered Testing Pool (i.e. Identified Players from the Senior England Elite Player Squad) must declare use via the Anti-Doping Administration and Management System at www.myadams.co.uk.
All other Players (i.e. England Squads, Guinness Premiership, First Division Rugby, National League 2 and 3) who required to submit TUEs are required to declare use via the 100% ME website at https://declaration.uksport.gov.uk.
