Chris Froome, "a Disaster For Cycling"?
I've never liked the look of this guy and some of us couldn't understand how he could be putting out so much power on the few occasions when he wasn't being towed, it looks like the answer is another Sky saga ready to emerge.

Looking at some of the side effects, listed here, I am surprised that any athlete would overuse this product.

I believe that the whole matter will be cleared up quite easily. No, salbutamol is not a PED. Yes, he had double the permitted dose on ONE day only, when he had been suffering more than usual. As one BBC reporter said he is renowned for coughing and spluttering during post-stage interviews, such is his condition.
Hand on heart I believe Froome took it without realising the possible repercussions. As another expert has said, adverse conditions such as dehydration can render the body unable to metabolise certain medications at their normal rate.
Froome would have been tested every single day during the TdF and La Vuelta.
His case and that of Bradley Wiggins are poles apart. Wiggins took advantage of his condition and used a TUE in order to use a PED. Froome and the rest of Team Sky were apoplectic when the truth came out.
Froome has nothing to hide, he has always been open, honest and publishes his training/clinical data for scrutiny and I’m confident he will be cleared and vindicated.

It would be nice for British cycling and the sport in general if you were correct, but I fear you stand rather alone on that.
Wasn't it you who has in the past questioned his power output?
Having said that, I don't think the blame should rest solely with the athletes themselves, who are not doctors, but with the drug administrators, such as Sky's Italian doctor who administered dope to Armstrong?

Nope, definitely not me, I’ve never questioned Froome nor his stats. He has been open and honest about his TUE when he required it, to the point that he refused one when competing in the Dauphine/TdF in 2012, if memory serves.
As I said, this is one anomaly in a whole summer of competition when he would have been tested rigorously almost every day. Were the substance in question have been a PED I’d have had a different view of matters, but I honestly believe Froome is above all that, unlike his former team mate whose wife has a little too much to say for herself.
