Therapeutic Use Exemption.

It's where an athlete is allowed to take medication to treat an illness or condition where the medication needed is on WADA's prohibited substance list. The application has to be assessed by an independent committee who recommends it is to be allowed or otherwise.

Its open to abuse as a form of legal doping, as came out in the Fancy Bears leaks.
