Britain's Cycling Superheroes
I watched this BBC documentary on TV last night.
Bit of a damp squib I thought.
Sky using TUEs to legally game the system, ruthless success driven management (shock horror!) in Team GB Cycling at Olympics.
Anyone else seen it and have an opinion?

Well do you think Sky's riders are the only ones? If you have to take med's for anything it's probably going to require a TUE, isn't it?
If a rider has ADHD, and I'd think many will just because ADHD is more prevalent in those that seek to be on top, there probably is an exemption for adderall and other meds that also affect performance too. I don't know that adderall boost's your performance per se, but it does let your body over perform to some extent.
I take adderall for ADHD. If I take it right before I ride, I seem to feel better during the ride and overdo it a little.
