That speaks more to the culture of doping in Russia than it does issues with the anti-doping system. Russian sporting authorities, and politicians have using the TUE's, even though they are available to all athletes with appropriate documentation, as a way to gaslight their people and make this a 'the world vs Russia' rather than an issue with the sporting culture in Russia.Agree, TUEs are not given out like candy. I think what KaoriFan may be referring to was the perception by the Russians that some TUEs to Western athletes were for medications like stimulants for ADHD, which are completely banned in Russia (but obviously 100% legitimate for ADHD).
