My understanding is that unless he can prove a reason for the finding, Froome will be banned and stripped of his Vuelta title.
That doesn't sound like a non-story.

at worst Bradley performed within the guidelines set out by the UCI for the TUE system...............at the worst FROOME toked on his puffer 30 times more than is allowed within the legal use of the permitted drug, therefore FAILING a drugs test. other riders have been suspended and banned for failing a drugs test using the same drug as froomey........

"No needles" Why did he feel the need to lie about that?
This is my prediction - they will be running out of doctors soon. I am not sure that would be enough to save him though.

My money's on him ducking a ban for some half-baked pseudo-medical reason, or maybe getting a ludicrously short ban. But losing his Vuelta title for sure
froomeys defence - "i was never over the legal limit"
Anti doping says " drug test shows he's got double the dose allowable in his system"
Froomeys says " i never took too much"
Anti doping says " prove the drugs test wrong"
Froomey " i cant has both samples tested, prove i'm over the allowable limit"
anti doping says " case closed, 12 Month ban, stripped of vuelta and be for ever known as a drugs cheat"
marmion and the CC keyboard warriors will still blame wiggins

I'm not so sure your crystal ball is as clear as you think it is. I doubt very much that Froome deliberately cheated and I doubt very much he'll 'be forever known as a drugs cheat'. On the other hand, if I were him I would absolutely hate to have Dave Brailsford speaking up in my defence or have any of the Sky baggage hanging around my neck. He is in a sticky spot, no mistake. Had he a less sanctimonious team, better still one that was clearly perceived to be clean, he would have a far better chance of explaining what I suspect is some kind of an innocent screw up.

valverde, contador et all would beg to differ about your claim that he won't be forever known as a drugs cheat

Previous bans for riders with less in their samples have set the precedent, 2000 is like 20 inhaler puffs, so he would likely be taking it as a liquid or pill dose, otherwise youtube would be full of shots of Froome puffing away up the Angliru
