From the article:
For instance, it was disclosed one athlete was on Advair, Synthroid, vitamin D, Allegra, Cytomel, Singulair and Tylenol, some of which are powerful and legal asthma and thyroid medication
As an asthmatic, I know what medication i take and thought I knew the asthma medication landscape reasonably well, and I haven't even heard of a couple of those. If I were in a state to need all that, I suspect wouldn't be able to get out of bed, let alone participate in highly competitive professional sports.

LOL. Cytomel is usually called T3 in weight lifting circles. It is used for weight loss, usually in conjunction with other drugs like Clen.

Do you think there are many clean athletes in Pro Sport ? You think cheating athletes are a small minority ? A surprising and disturbing comment from a poster who spend plenty of time in The Clinic.

Re: Re:
A) That is wrong. For substances banned in competition it is 30 days prior to competition, not taking the drug. For substances banned at all times you have to submit as soon as you are diagnosed.
B) There are obviously provisions in place that wave the 30 day submission deadline. I'm not defending anyone here, just pointing out that such a blanket statement in an article is very misleading, especially when it's completely wrong.

Re: Re:
That detail is almost a foot note in the overall TUE story.
The bottom line is that USADA has a single person to handle TUE approval; that person is flat out with requests, & it doesn't sound like anyone gives a damn. Oh, & this is after WADA took a whole crap load of asthma meds out of the loop, & reduced the TUE requests by 90% ......
The simple reality is that there is no approval process for TUEs; just a rubber stamp

Has ol' Trav said anything about this, or is he still more concerned about what other countries are doing?

Re: Re:
Sorry, can you provide any evidence for this? The article up thread states that Shelly Rodemer is in charge, but no where does it say she is the only person. Also, TUEs are approved by a 3 person independent panel (yes, we all know of the one case that this has been by-passed) so unless you can also provide evidence that this isn't happening please don't make things up.
I'm unfamiliar with the unit "crapload" , could you define this please.
It's pretty obvious why several asthma medications are allowed, but outwith the secondary effect of this WADA can't reduce the number of TUE applications, although I would have thought that if they did most people in the clinic would be happy?

Why are we surprised ? Have previously posted the USA are the 'Kings of TUE's - They are so pious.

He certainly loves going for glory on the headlines and forgetting about the Nike Oregon Project doping back in the US. He really is a joker.
