Was there anything in the report about those mystery testosterone patches ?
-
How was the Jiffy bag incident initially discovered? Was it a whistleblower?

Here's a decent article on its history:
-
And here is what a medical doctor had to say about Millar's comments:
"An anabolic steroid like testosterone puts on muscle mass but this is
a catabolic steroid which breaks down muscle,” said Lipworth, who
sits on the WHO guidelines committee ARIA. “The benefits to David
Millar were probably the fact that he was taking EPO and testosterone
at the same time as he was using triamcinolone. So the anaobolic
effect of the testosterone probably counteracted the triamcinolone."David Millar was on a cocktail of drugs - I'm not sure how he has the nerve to weigh in on this.

That'll be why they ordered the testosterone patches then...

What is the difference between "legal" use of performance enhancing drugs and scientific based performance enhancing training techniques?
Both are often without regard to health. I have known more than a share of athletes-- who did not use drugs-- who were physically damaged by their sports-- athlete’s heart and heart arrhythmias being one of the most common of the lot. -
Enjoying the constant 'what do you think about Wiggins' questions in the office the last day or two.
There's no new information is there?
Is this the revenge of JTL? Whoever fed those MPs info got them spouting like Twitter trolls.

Is there nothing else that will do the same job as the TUE substance and is the performance gain from it not more than he would've had without his "illness"?
The TUEC reviewed the medical history Sir Brad submitted and concluded that there was no alternative which would be as therapeutically effective, and that the performance gain was not more than restoration to normal health. If you haven't read the medical history and taken evidence on the effects of this substance, you're not in any position to question the decision of the TUEC.

What is the difference between "legal" use of performance enhancing drugs and scientific based performance enhancing training techniques?
From an athlete welfare point of view, nothing, but you might as well ask what the difference is between racing le Tour on safety bicycles and doing it on recumbents. Sports rules are arbitrary, and in the case of most sports there is an arbitrary distinction between physiological interventions which have the same costs and benefits to the athlete where one is considered natural and the other is considered synthetic. The line is drawn by moral philosophers drawing from classical antiquity and the Abrahamic faiths. There is an equally arbitrary distinction between "food" and "drugs", not just in sport but in society, one which varies between cultures. If global sports had originally been codified in China, the rules might be different.

The testosterone was all for me?

Robert De Niro's talking.

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying -
Thanks for this. Unlike the Godfather Part 3 is very good as well.

G. Thomas in idiotic quote shocker. ‘Easier to scrap tues’
Maybe people will disagree with that but, in my eyes, if you suffer so severely from asthma or allergies that over the counter medications, or medications that don't require TUEs such as Salbutamol can't control, its unfortunate but maybe your body isn't built for the rigours of professional sport.
"It might be unfair, but at the moment that's the only way I can see things becoming a bit more black and white."
