But Froome did absolutely nothing wrong. He had a TUE for the substance he took.
Yates has done something wrong, he failed to declare a product he'd taken that was banned. He may have taken that substance through negligence on the part of the team doctor, but it remains his responsibility for that substance getting into his system.
I think a four month ban is relatively lenient.

Yeah it was a joke about froome. I know he did nothing wrong.
Yes, in the end, it's Yates who is at fault, and he's stood up and accepted that. Which I think itsvery good of him and I respect that a lot. Other athletes could learn a lot from him. For a young guy, he's had some good council an acted proper.

In the sense of froome and his prednisone at romanide. (a light joke)
I can't understand how UCI can't see the sense in this situation and not ban him from what is a clerical error.
