A curious fact about professional cyclists is the fact that a large segment of the peloton suffers from asthma. In fact, one study from UCSF estimated that half of Tour de France cyclists have the condition. Even more odd: Having asthma can actually lead athletes to a competitive edge.23 Aug 2023
How many boxers/athletes have a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)? If I was competing in a 1v1 sport. I would want to be made aware of any TUE's my opponent has.
Loads. I know the Liverpool team a few years back did. Thought I heard about AJ having a tue too but I might have imagined that. It’s absolutely ludicrous that it’s allowed.

It was rumoured that AJ has them and they’re not allowed in New York. I think that was said around Ruiz 1.

I remember reading all about the AJ TUE stuff at the time
