Great info. Many thanks for that heads up. I'm on formoterol and flovent and never used the "troubled" inhalers. I also assumed that pros needed a Tue for asthma meds. Only in this case sounds like a serious mistake by a doc over there prescribing this Med?Yeah, if it's just your regular GP then their job is to keep you alive and healthy, they don't care and likely don't have the time to check WADA or Global DRO etc….for your average AG athlete, that's your job or maybe your coaches job.
In this case it looks like they just went in for testing and signed on the form that he was taking terbutaline, basically admitting to doping without knowing it…..I don't know 100% what happened, just reading snippets from the internet
Like you say total F**K UP, the doctors should know this stuff (If their job is something like a medical director of a cycling team). But so should the athlete, perhaps the coach, perhaps people at British cycling etc etc….
On a side note the bigger issue I think is who is applying for and getting a TUE for Terbutaline??? IE there is stuff out there which works and is legal, so why is there a TUE for that?
