If you can use a PED within the letter of the regulations, albeit not in the spirit, all the better. The presence of a TUE legitimizes the use. The TUE system can clearly be abused though.
Do you disagree with this? Or do you think that riders should try and obtain TUEs for whatever they can get away with, and if they obtain a performance benefit so be it?

What's the performance benefit here? Because the only people I've seen saying it has one are ex-dopers who like nothing more than getting their names in the press now they are defenders of the sport (having previously pissed all over it when they were actually racing).
NHS guidelines suggest that one of the side effects for Kenalog is rapid weight gain. There is no mention of rapid weight loss, which has now been accepted as a fact by those who want to cast Sky in a bad light.
Personally I'm ambivalent on it, there's a line beyond which you are cheating. The fact that Sky get right up to that line should surprise no-one in my opinion.

So he says. But he says a lot of things that don't turn out to be true. Plus he was taking quite a bit more on top of that.
If Sky/Wiggins were up to no good, as you are insinuating, do you not think that applying for a TUE is a strange way to go about a doping programme?
