Travel with a sports team represents a significant challenge to the clinicians involved. Physiotherapists can safely manage a large number of medical problems of athletes in their care. All team members (athletes and officials) should have a pre-season medical check, and their baseline records should be available to the physiotherapist on tour. Optimal management of chronic medical conditions is essential if athletes and team management are to perform at peak efficiency. Prior planning and immunisation can help prevent some medical problems.Acute illnesses need early accurate clinical diagnosis and appropriate timely intervention. All team physiotherapists should be conversant with doping regulations and the current IOC banned drug list.
