So is Sir Bradley guilty of doping?

Except that 'Cycling' like golf and many activities has chosen create and continuously develop rules to define what is unacceptable. This eliminates the subjectivity that applying the dictionary definition would introduce.

In matchplay if you deliberately coughed during someone else's putting stroke you wouldn't be breaking any rules but you could be called a cheat.

Think the Oxford Dictionary has it right.

I think if you really want a golf analogy that a TUE you don't needs like a scratch golfer that is entering tournaments at 18 handicap so he gets a shot every hole.

Or 22, as there are that many stages in the tour.
