Which all of course still raises the question: how come athletes seem to get allergic/asthmatic right before big moments/Grand Tours/etc? :p 

 

Because it's obviously nearly impossible to prove that a person has or doesn't have an allergy, it's the perfect way to get away with it. :)

 

And on top of that, let's not forget that ALL people that don't share their medical records with the whole World are automatically TUE abusers, period.

Quite a good piece this, mostly about Wiggins and his TUEs and Team Sky not being as transparent as they're always preaching to be.

In fourth part we can see 4 players of Canadian football women's team which used the same dose of salbutamol during the same period in one year since January 2008 to January 2009. Salbutamol used people with asthma. WADA allowed salbutamol but only if you used small dose. But they used TUEs because they used doses more than allowed. They all was in the team at the 2008 Olympics. This is strange coincidences.

I agree that all TUE's, bans and all other drungs-related stuff should be public. When you become an elite athlete your privacy is gone anyway.

 

For me, all the speculations going on, shows why they shouldn't be public

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
