Well, quite. There are good reasons for using the steroids in this case, but if you don't follow the rules it looks well dodge. This is why the MPCC not allowing member teams to field riders on corticoids seems overkill to me, if you've been suffering with a chest infection or you've got asthma or whatever this could stop you competing when you're already at a disadvantage.
The thing is Froome is the first to get angry at anything that could suggest doping: e.g. not testing tour contenders training on Tennergrief.
But he must have known that they were fast tracking the prednisolone TUE, surely?
