[Closed] TUEs, WADA, Froome and Wiggo - what do people think?

As the news resports go to some lengths to explain, nothing that the recent hacking of WADA's records has exposed regarding TUEs among a number of atheletes, most notably Froome and Wiggo, is new. They've all been previously declared and discussed. But, there are people in the cycling community, most notably Nicole Cooke, who have been openly critical of TUEs and Froome's use of them in particular. The BBC's own Panorama programme went to great lengths to implicate Alberto Salazar's use of them within the Nike Oregon project and all but accused him of cheating with their widespread use. I do not for one moment doubt that some TUEs will be entirely and only motivated by the desire to enhance performance, are these instances any less pernicious because of that even if the athelete's condition legally allows for the use? Genuinely interested in people's thoughts.

Blimey. It's looking a bit of a clusterf*** now.
