  • If anyone hasn't read it already. Read this INRNG article:

    Key points:

    Another test took 32 athletes, administered permitted doses, made them exercise until dehydration and 20 exceeded the limit.

    And this chart, the red line is the UCI limit:

    Each arrow is "3 inhalations of Ventolin"

    This research is from the Swiss anti-doping research laboratory and shows spikes in salbutamol levels following administration of a therapeutic dosage.

    The main thing to remember is that this is a test of concentration in urine, if you're dehydrated that concentration is going to be much higher, and as the graph shows it isn't the case of inhaling X amount of X amount then showing up in your urine.

  • And this chart, the red line is Froome's reading:

    The red line is the WADA limit - Froome's reading was 2000
