It does make me wonder how someone with asthma can be a top performing endurance athlete though...
Snore...
Can't the media/MP's find another successful sports person to pick on
Ie. Lizzy Yarnold eats jelly babies!
Do they boost performance etc...
Which is exactly why the waters are so cloudy.

However, presumably the purpose of this report was to establish whether any rules had been broken, and in this case they hadn't, so the ethics is essentially irrelevant.
I do agree though that kenalog should be banned outright.
Sky gamed the system, it'd be nice if they held their hands up and admitted it, but they didn't actually cheat, but much as in formula 1 fans for the purpose of generating downforce were banned, a lot of what is currently allowed under TUE should be banned.
did anyone factually break a pre-agreed “ethical line”?
or did some people have an opinion that some other people might have crossed an ethical line that isn’t defined anywhere and therefore is a subjective opinion?
is this news?
funnily enough, this is now making me sympathetic towards Wiggins
i do find it ironic that the only ex member of Sky that the BBC news could find to interview and criticise Sky was the one who actually has been banned
Worth a read
For me Britain has a historical bias against cycling and road racing in particular and this is just another manifestation of it.
At least cycling has had a long standing anti doping system (obviously because it was needed) when compared to the slip shod systems that were in place in Football and Rugby until recently.
Edit to add that I'm really surprised/suspicious of the lack of medical records that Sky have (or are willing to divulge). They're a team so concerned with small details that it seems very unlikely.
That's the nature of "all" modern sport. The deal refused during Operation Fuentes that offered up pretty much all European Tennis and Football stars is pretty telling. Keep the focus on those naughty cyclists, whilst the footy players, rugby guys and everyone else gets a free pass for a few more years.
The largest number of banned athletes in UK sport is in Rugby. And more and more it's at all levels.
