I don't have 'asthma'.
You just can't understand why the guy didn't ensure he kept clean beyond any doubd.
Hopefully it will help prevent his colleagues and associates from riding on the pavements, jumping traffic lights and have no lights back or front.
I think you will also find that all this comes in cycles.
Apparently he does suffer from asthma.
But this a scarily grey area - you can take the drug, but only so many puffs of an inhaler a day. Sky says his asthma was more severe than usual one day, so he took extra, but within the required amount.
The test says it wasn't though- and Froome has to provide a satisfactory explanation or else he will be banned. In recent years two cyclists have been banned for this drug, but one got off - his explanation accepted.
AS said - you think they would stay away from anything with such a risk - he must be one of the most tested cyclists around.
I do have asthma and still didn't manage to make it as a pro cyclist!
As a weekend warrior (i do about 65km on a Sunday morning with other MAMILs) i can sympathise with Froome - sometimes i just can't get my breath and a quick puff on the inhaler does help.
When you take a puff into your mouth though, it's easy to angle the inhaler so that most of the spray doesn't actually make it to your throat where it's needed, but i wonder if it still makes it into your bloodstream via your mouth?
I really, really hope that he is not a cheat - even if he is exonerated, he is still going to get hell from the French crowd at the Tour de France - they hate him already!!
It's a shame, given how heavily tainted the sport already is. It's the last thing they need.
