I disagree: Wiggins hasn't cheated, he followed the rules and used the medecine he was allowed to to treat his allergies. Yet now we have David Millar dying inside and other people saying his win must now have an asterisk next to it.
Yet he followed the rules.
I think the authorities need to close these loopholes to prevent these grey areas where we the audience are in limbo effectively. Now it's entirely in the court of public opinion whether he is a cheat or not, and that largely is in the cheat camp.

Allergies that his teammates weren't aware of and he had never mentioned before. Come on now, cortisone doping is old school and fully understood. Just because they made up an excuse to administer said doping under TUE rules doesn't mean it isn't cheating.

So, no TUEs then? If you need to take something on a banned list for health reasons you can't race, even if the ailment doesn't stop you racing? Riders aren't going to appreciate that. It's their income on the line.

The "loopholes" were supposed to be for rider's health. Blame team management for abusing them.
