Sorry for the bazillionth post on the subject..
But has anyone seen any definitive evidence that triamcinolone given as a 40mg injection is performance enhancing? One one hand you seem to have asthma doctors claiming that there is little or no benefit of using the steroid as a PED. On the other we have ex pros coming out and saying that it is a powerful PED.
Where do we think the truth lies? Is the discrepancy down to the dosage and frequency?
Has anyone seen any compelling expert evidence either way?
To me it seems strange that nobody seems to be focusing on this. The perception of the effect of the dose by the team doctors is at the crux of the story for me. If they believed that they were issuing a dose that is strong enough to offer an performance enhancing benefit that there is a case to answer. If not then I believe there is a justifiable case for giving Wiggins a preventative dose.
