As I understand it the TUEs are given to treat illness, not to prevent it.
Prophylactic treatment is a normal part of asthma management. In fact, if you only treat once you are experiencing symptoms, your doctor will probably give you a bollocking.
Unless Sir Bradley lied to his doctor, or his doctor lied to the TUEC, there is no case for either of them to answer. Maybe WADA needs to be a bit harsher with athletes and tell them to take a week or two off if they're ill, but that's their problem not Sky's.

As I understand it the TUEs are given to treat illness, not to prevent it. I would be very happy to be wrong about that. But if they are, the suspicion is raised by Wiggins only being ill enough to need them before the three grand tours he targeted.
The notion that his autobiography was ghost written so we shouldn't hold him to it - what is this? The Katie Price defence? Sorry, I didn't write it, or read it. But it was only about drugs so I didn't think it would matter.
