I am sorry BWOD et al but I see it as this..

The Russians were made escape goats by the rest of the world and we all tut tutted and delighted in calling them cheats....

Now the Fancy Bears have thought 'hang on a minute...' and called everyone else out for being equally 'unclean'...

By 'equally' I mean, either you have taken performance enhancing drugs or you haven't.

Calling one 'OK' as it's a TUE and one not because it's not classed as such doesn't make any difference.

Has the drug you've taken enhanced your capability to perform?

Yes, you're a cheat.

No, you're not a cheat.
