TUEs should be independently verified.
They are. The athlete, or his representative, submits the TUE application to the TUEC which is a panel of 3 independent doctors. They inspect the application, which gives the medical history relevant to the application as well as the treatment recommended by the athlete's doctor, and they decide whether or not it should be accepted. They can ask for additional evidence if they're not sure, either a more detailed medical history or additional tests.

I saw a stat earlier (can't find again) on number of recent TUEs issued and that sky was 13 of them or 4.6%. Make you wonder what all the others are.
