description As a professional cyclist with a long career, Franck Bouyer saw his life change in 2003 when he learned that he was suffering from Gelineau’s syndrome. The disease forced the athlete to take a stimulating treatment every day to stop the recurrence of attacks of narcolepsy, cataplexy and hallucinations. However, the medicine which allows him to experience a “normal” physiological state is listed with the World Anti-Doping Agency among prohibited substances in competition. As part of the emerging process of harmonization of procedures for the fight against doping, an inadequacy appears between the realities of his job and his disease. His requests for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, in order to be able to carry on with his career, led to a conflict with a unique, temporary conclusion. The article discusses how time transforms and reconfigures the conflict itself, which switches from the regime of the controversy to the case. Besides, this article brings to light the logics of actions, actors and arguments processes to assess the follow-up of the professional cyclist’s career.
