Why does Kathy Jager need a TUE?

Kathy Jager, a well-known sportswoman, tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2011 USA National Masters Outdoor Track And Field Championships in Berea. That’s why this athlete was banned from participation in competitions. Kathy Jager must not compete till the age of 70. This is the establishment of the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
This famous athlete took steroids because these products were recommended by the physician to improve her hormone balance. According to the rules of World Anti-Doping Agency, sportspersons may utilize steroids for medical purposes and participate in competitions, if they have a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). But Kathy Jager didn’t have a TUE which could give her the authorization to utilize these preparations without being excluded from competitions.
It is necessary to note that this athlete doesn’t treat intake of anabolic steroids seriously.
She tested positive for methyltestosterone at the 1999 World Association of Veteran Athletes World Championships in Gateshead (Great Britain) after she had broken world records in running of 100 meters. That competition was between athletes of 55-59 years old. It was the first time she was banned for application of banned medications. Now it was her second time.
As it was found out, this famous sportswoman used EstraTest HS which contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a single tablet.
Kathy Jager pointed out that she had used EstraTest for medical needs. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and didn’t allow her to take part in competitions.
This case caused a lot of debates. Some people condemned her for administration of steroids, others defended her.
When she was banned the first time, she applied steroids in order to avoid menopausal troubles. The products were prescribed by her physician. Later she discontinued applying recommended drugs and started to apply herbal preparations.
So, this athlete must not participate in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had received a TUE, she could compete. But nobody is sure whether the WADA will give her a TUE or not.
