Re: Doping - an irregular verb

The last time the Russians hacked the doping agencies, we learnt that one vocal opponent of drug use had been caught by more than one random drugs test but was then been awarded a number of retrospective TUEs. That is driving a coach and horses through the rules and blatant hypocrisy from the tennis player in question. And why is it, that when an athlete has some medical condition, all of the oral remedies given to the rest of us are apparently unsuitable and athletes are obliged to have injections, which have the greatest beneficial impact on their performance?

Also from the last Russian hack, we learnt that all members of the Norwegian cross country skiing team were apparently chronic asthmatics.

While the Russian hacking and Russian doping are bad, so is all this other "legalised doping". The whole thing should be done in the open.
