But they're not hypocrites like Sky of course.
But NOT for cortisone......

Chris Froome said:"I wasn't ill".
Cyclingnews.com said:WADA Angry with UCI Over Flawed TUE Approval Process
Froome and Team Sky was given a TUE to treat a chest infection and cough after the opening stage of the Swiss stage race in late April, with Zorzoli fast-tracking the TUE application due to what he considered “exceptional circumstance”.
Froome went on to win the Tour de Romandie.
The UCI insisted to Cyclingnews last week that Zorzoli had the authority to act alone and approve TUE requests for "exceptional circumstances" rather than follow the standard procedure set out in the WADA rules, where a TUE Committee of at least three sports doctors studies any request for a TUE.
red_flanders said:Wow, just wow. I thought the bar for getting the TUE was "acute" nee and "exceptional" circumstances. "I wasn't ill".
How is that sitting with the defenders?
So for those who want to mock people who think there is something un-toward going on, as there has been many times in the past, how exactly do you reconcile these clear, and conflicting statements?
There are other explanations that the UCI is covering something up, but that has to be a possibility you examine.
Anyway you look at it someone's not telling the truth. And what does that tell you?

Hawkwood said:I can see the argument you're making, but why not use the whole quotes from Froome and not bits of them. There's a longer quote above:
`I wasn’t coughing coming into the race, so I wasn’t ill in that sense but you see me after the prologue and I’m struggling to breathe. I’m at a big disadvantage because of my asthma. It’s not an illness as such, but by taking prednisone that would hopefully get me to being closer to being normal again.’
red_flanders said:If the above explanation of my quote editing makes sense, I would definitely like to hear what you think about the situation beyond your (fair) questions about my posts.

Hawkwood said:I'm not making a case for whether or not this TUE should have been issued, but I would be interested in learning what were the details of the diagnosis.
