Regardless of Froome TUE's are problematic and WADA knows it...
It was only a leak that ensured information on the froome TUE..
And it is rather a common issue in the peleton..
As late as three weeks ago WADA had a meeting on the issue:
https://www.wada-ama.org/en/media/news/2014-10/wada-hosts-successful-3rd-tue-symposium
The Symposium discussed the TUE principles and practices and covered the crucial relevant changes in the revised World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE), both of which come into effect at the start of 2015.
Participants – mostly physicians but also some ADO management personnel – discussed and debated topics including numerous medical conditions that require the use of certain prohibited substances; challenges and lessons from ADOs; the continuing danger of supplement use in sport and details on TUE recognition and the appeal process. Former professional cyclist Tyler Hamilton participated in the event, and provided an athlete’s perspective including how TUEs had been abused.
WADA Medical Director, Dr. Alan Vernec: “We are extremely pleased with the outcomes of this Symposium. It occurred at an important time with the forthcoming changes to the Code and International Standards.
“The event allowed participants to further understand the key elements of the TUE process and the need to improve the quality of granted TUEs. We were also able to discuss the important balance of on the one hand ensuring that athletes with legitimate medical needs are still able to compete with approved medication yet on the other making sure that the TUE system is not abused as a back door way to cheating”.
Pretending that the Froome TUE and others are just fine is imo too kind...
Again -we only know about the "single" Froome TUE due to a breach of confitentiality..
To assume that this is the only case of team sky OR in general is wearing blindfolds...
Yes the TUE was ok'ed by WADA..
But why then should the UCI and WADA change their rules/praxises as an outcome? was it then all okay?
