Is it splitting hairs? Some substances and methods are banned outright, like EPO and blood transfusions, and some substances can be used, but there is a limit set.
I don’t see how that can be controversial, nor is it splitting hairs if you make that distinction. If Froome was taking a banned substance, he’d have been sanctioned. But ( as far as we know) he’s not and his urine has shown levels of Salbutamol above the permitted value. He has the opportunity now to explain why this is the case. If the UCI anti-doping aren’t satisfied with his explanation then they can sanction him.

"Chris has not had a positive test, rather an adverse analytical finding for a prescribed asthma medication”
Now we are just splitting hairs.
Thankfull for all the riders out there that I know who have never had “adverse analytical findings"
