Seriously? Using therapeutic medicine is the same as performance enhancing drugs? By this logic, taking my topical steroids puts me in the same place as someone taking EPO. I'm pretty sure I could beat anyone yesterday in that head-wind. I think the anti-PED pendulum needs to swing back just a bit.

Pretty sure Lance and all the other dopers from that era already used the "level playing field" argument.

Saying it another way,  they are allowing him to level the playing field - just the other around.  Let's call it playing the level field?  The article doesn't say anything about a middle of the pack requirement in his case. That said.  How many people have the resources to pay out of pocket for an MRI?  You'd have to give up the next bike purchase.  I'm sure there is more to Teeple's case than the article mentions.  Based on the facts it presents, I think the exemption is warranted.
