@velocast @TourDeJose no TUE required, he has asthma, hence the coughing after exertion #duh #trolls

I have never read anywhere before that Froome has asthma. But okay...

Yes. You'd kinda think with all the discussion on Badzhilla etc. that it would have been brought up? I mean all the coughing, not feeling well etc. He would have mentioned in his book that he had asthma.

 

[scholar]

Surely having asthma would be the grounds for a TUE, rather than a reason why none is required?

Nothing wrong with a quick shot of Xenon before attacking, no?

seriously though, it could indeed be xenon.

She called them trolls. Trolls. FFS.

I just typed it into Google (not that this is proof of anything), but there's nothing. He's mentioned Bilharzia, skin rashes- but never asthma. I think Michelle's just made that up. But I also can't believe that whatever was in the inhaler was that serious.

Every clean cyclist has asthma, it is a must to be succesfull.

yep, same here.

just another something walsh c.s. will be happy to ignore rather than to explain.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Jesus she's losing it. WTF.

 

[TheGame]

You don't need a TUE for most inhalers.

Most cyclists have asthma.

Its really that simple.

 

[The Hitch]

what does walsh make of this?

Come on, you don't have any information on what actually happened yet.
Theres a big chance its a non story, but you are already reacting like its a big thing

 

[TheGame]

Assuming its Salbutamol, then yes.

Incorrect. No, you do not need a TUE for salbutamol unless its over 16 puffs a day.

Clinic quoting facts that aren't facts again.

Yeah- it's nothing serious- as if he'd be stupid enough to take something illegal in front of the entire peloton...but just one more condition that we didn't know about.

am i?
i sense we're gonna get our intelligence insulted again.
either it won't get explained at all, or froome will now have asthma and we'll have to settle with that.

It may be something the clinic made up, but wasn't the coughing because of his Bilharzia.

All those poor performances in the book listed out. Never once mentioned asthma...

 

[TheGame]

Oh, well, that's pretty damning evidence.

So Froomes girlfriend would just make this up? Strange really.. A lie is fine, but you need to know wich one to tell..

 

[Will Carter]

Unlikely to be Xenon - doesn't work that quickly from what I've read.

 

[cineteq]

Incorrect. No, you do not need a TUE for salbutamol unless its over 16 puffs a day.

If you go more than 4 puffs a day, its effect becomes useless.

He followed the instructions well.

For exercise-induced bronchospasm, or EIB, the usual dose for adults and children 4 years and older is 2 puffs taken 15 to 30 minutes before exercise.

 

[BYOP88]

All copies of 'The Climb' are getting recalled, so an asthma chapter can be added.

How does a guy living in clean Kenyan mountain air get asthma, FFS.
