Surgery - Important Information.

One area of doping that athletes often forget is that of medications and substances administered by surgeons and specialists like anesthetists during surgical procedures.

Prior to any planned surgery you should advise your surgeon and the anaesthetist that you may be subject to drug testing. If the doctors are unsure they can contact the AIS or the ASDA hot line or consult the latest MIMS (this is the doctors? drug book that indicates which drugs are allowed / banned / restricted in sport.

If you are administered drugs before, during or after surgery ask the doctor and hospital for a full list of them including substance brand names, their ingredients and the dosage administered and if you are subject to drug testing forward this list to Triathlon Australia as soon as possible with a letter from your doctor outlining the reasons for administering each substance.
