Though TUE amendment passed, CSAC expects lengthy review, few exemptions

Those looking to get a therapeutic-use exemption in California could face a long wait, according to California State Athletic Commission Executive Director George Dodd.

The commission this week passed an amendment that allows fighters to use banned substances in competition if it can be proved they are medically necessary.

But the amendment's specifics are still being ironed out, Dodd said, and if hurdles to making it law are cleared, the exemption process won't be easy.
