The explanation is sound. Most high level athletes are on a cocktail of legal performance enhancing drugs. Like there are barely any professional cyclists or long distance runners out there who don't have a prescription for asthma medicine. This is a grey area, as long as it's not on the list you do what you have to do.

Not cross-referencing your drugs when the banned list gets updated is dumb as hell though.

Are there legal/semi legal PEDs that us regular folks can get our hands on? For instance, I have doctor prescriptions to asthma medicine and methylphenidate (adderall). Can I get my doc to prescribe me some more stuff so I can perform better at athletics than usual?

That's huge.That'd be like Durant failing a drug test.It's telling that even Women's Tennis Association has no problem banning its biggest star whereas in NBA the only players caught doping are absolute scrubs like Nick Calathes or 40 year old grandpa Lindsey Hunter..
