The point still remains that all the products he is known to have taken are either not banned substances in or out of competition, or can be taken with a TUE in competition if that is granted through the proper process.
I guess it depends if you believe the mystery package is Fluimucil. BC/Sky have not put their case forward very well in this instance.

One wonders why we bother training doctors and pharmacists when access to Google and a Twitter account can make you a medical expert in 30 seconds.
This. Allergy treatments for anyone are incredibly nuanced, for top level athletes even more so. I have zero idea what drugs Brad should or shouldn't be taking, because I am not a doctor and I don't know Brad's condition. I do know it wasn't simply asthma though.

There is some advice that asthmatics may suffer side effects from Fluimucil and that their condition should be monitored after taking it and the course stopped if these manifest themselves. There is nothing to say that asthmatics cannot take the medicine.
This is all so pointless - everyone's made up their own mind already, and no amount of reasoned debate is going to change it.
We do not know Wiggins medical history, and, rightly, due to patient confidentiality we never will. The point still remains that all the products he is known to have taken are either not banned substances in or out of competition, or can be taken with a TUE in competition if that is granted through the proper process. Which remains the case. So we can reasonably conclude that, despite the hopes of certain sections of the UK press and a few people on Twitter, no rules have been broken and there is no case to answer.
