Chris Froome says questions remain over Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins seeking
permission to use anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone.
Cris Carter Vikings Jersey .Wiggins in 2012
became the first British Tour de France winner and Froome has since inherited
the Team Sky leadership and won the yellow jersey three times, in 2013, 2015 and
2016.Wiggins received three therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) for triamcinolone
-- a substance which has a history of abuse in cycling and is otherwise banned
-- on the eve of the 2011 and 2012 Tours and 2013 Giro dItalia.Wiggins and Team
Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford have strenuously denied any wrongdoing,
insisting each time the TUEs were medically necessary to deal with a pollen
allergy that aggravated Wiggins long-standing asthma condition.The TUEs also had
the approval of the UCI, cyclings world governing body, and there is no
suggestion that Wiggins or the team have broken any rules.Froome, however, was
unaware of his former teammates TUEs, with Wiggins leaving the team in April
2015.I was surprised, it was the first that I had heard of them, he told
cyclingnews.com. I had seen Bradley Wiggins using his inhalers so I knew he had
asthma, but I wasnt aware of his allergies.Without knowing the exact details of
his medical condition, its impossible to say if he was operating in a grey
area.Froome has previously secured two TUEs for short courses of prednisolone, a
steroid used to treat acute chest complaints, in 2013 and 2014.The latter was
controversial at the time as it was granted retrospectively to enable the
31-year-old Froome to take part in a key Tour de France warm-up race in
Switzerland, despite being ill a week before.His TUE application was cleared by
the UCI and WADA and he went on to win the Tour de Romandie.Cyclingnews.com said
it asked Froome the difference between the TUE cases, with the 31-year-old
replying by email, outlining the history of the case.This is the standard
treatment for post-infection inflammation in asthmatics that cannot be
controlled by standard inhalers, Froome added. I dont believe that there are any
alternative treatments, and performance enhancement is negligible.With regards
to Wiggins TUEs, questions remain over his symptoms, the choice of treatment and
the related performance benefits from that treatment.While Froome admitted there
were questions to answer, former Team Sky rider Mark Cavendish insisted it was
unfair to subject Wiggins to speculation about his TUE use without a more
detailed explanation of his health condition.He told the Daily Telegraph: This
is not sticking up for Brad and its not getting at Brad -- just take away who is
involved for the moment -- there are rules. And you either break the rules or
you dont break the rules. And unless you know Brads medical situation, the rest
is just speculation.Maybe Brad needed a TUE legitimately; maybe he could have
used something else. But unless you know, it is just speculation. And Im not
going to speculate.UCI president Brian Cookson, who was British Cycling
president until his election to the world governing body in September 2013 and
also sat on the Team Sky board, says Team Sky and Wiggins operated within the
rules.The issue of the substances issued to Wiggins appears to have been within
the rules, Cookson told reporters at the UCI Road World Championships, which
concluded in Doha on Sunday. But I think there is an argument to be had about
whether TUEs for that kind of substance are valid.Since the TUEs leak, UK
Anti-Doping has launched an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in
cycling.Froome, who has been on a family holiday in recent weeks, added: Its a
great shame for the sport that were once again debating the validity of a Tour
de France victory, and it has been a very challenging time for those
involved.Like many other members of the team, I look forward to the conclusion
of the investigation that is currently taking place and getting back to focusing
on the season ahead.

minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout
Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Jarryd Haynes
former NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers, are among at least 16 clubs sending
scouts to watch NRL stars Jason Taumalolo and Valentine Holmes work out in Los
Angeles on the weekend.The New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia
Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals have also indicated they will
attend Saturdays closed door session near the University of Southern California
campus.At this point Ive heard from more than half the league, Jeff Foster,
president of National Football Scouting that is organising the workout, told AAP
on Wednesday.Haynes hot and cold season with the 49ers last year obviously did
not dampen the teams interest in physically elite, but NFL raw rugby league
players.The workout has been scheduled to allow NFL scouts to watch Taumalolo
and Holmes and then travel to the nearby LA Coliseum, site of the 1932 and 1984
Summer Olympics, to watch one of US college footballs biggest games of the
weekend, USC against Notre Dame.Foster said Taumalolo, 23, and Holmes, 21, will
undergo NFL Combine style tests.Well weigh and measure them and put them through
a series of timed events like the 40 yard dash, three cone drill, the shuttles,
well broad jump and vertical jump, Foster said.
Everson Griffen Youth Jersey. From there well
run them through some simple position specific drills.They are ball handlers
first so well determine what positions in rugby translate to what positions in
the NFL.Taumalolo is a 191cm tall, 113kg lock/second-row with the North
Queensland Cowboys and Holmes is a 185cm, 87kg fullback/winger with the Cronulla
Sharks.Foster said they will do some basic workouts at the wide receiver,
running back and tight end offensive positions.Then from there we will also look
at some really basic defensive positions, he said.Just based off size and the
physical nature of them, we will likely look at safety and outside linebacker
positions.The pair flew from London to LA immediately after playing against each
other in the Australia-New Zealand Four Nations final.Taumalolo and Holmes are
contracted to their NRL clubs until the end of the 2017 season so interested NFL
teams may have to wait a year before they move to the US.
