I take it you guys have evidence that she does not have asthma and did not need to use an inhaler after the individual pursuit, and that in fact she was using salbutamol in an organised and deliberate attempt to cheat the system?

No. Thought not.

I have not found an article dated pre-2012 that mentions SS having asthma but perhaps you have.

I don't imagine that she - or you - makes her medical history public. Even sports people are allowed medical confidentiality - which should also have been applied in this case.

Don't about 75% of athletes now have asthma (apparently)?

Edit: I exaggerate, but not by much for swimmers.

No arguments about medical confidentiality but many groups have celebrity supporters or ambassadors and are keen to raise their profile in the media by appointing winning sporty types.

I think secret TUEs are inherently corrupt. They should be done in the open so everybody knows who's taking what.

If it were not the TUE leaks, Wiggins and Sky would not have gone down in history as dopers.

Actually the whole concept of TUEs is dubious and asthma's hardly something to get embarassed about.

'Had to have a few puffs before speaking to journalists'

IIRC correctly, Froomes AAF was at a level where a few puffs wouldn't have triggered the AAF, and indeed it was suggested that it would have taken about 30 puffs to reach that level.

It's British Cycling 2012. Wonder if she had a testosterone patch or two as well...
