| Jul 18, 2017 at 13:52 | comment | added | Jamie A | I'm not sure I'd want to take benedryl during a race. It impairs concentration and temperature regulation. Most likely the drugs in question are corticosteroids, which many consider performance enhancing. There was quite a hubbub last year concerning Sky's use of waivers for corticosteroids, I can imagine a team wanting to avoid that. | |
