Doping

I'm trying to be factual, not patronising so apologies if it came across like that.

Personally, I'd expect JTL to be sanctioned when his case reaches a conclusion, i.e. he was doping, as the UCI have brought, I think, ten cases based on passport evidence and haven't lost a single one. But he was doping prior to joining Sky, not when he was there (his performances would back up) and his case showed that Sky were incredibly naive when recruiting riders. From what I've understood, they now test new recruits extensively.

As I said I don't believe for one minute any Sky's complicity in any of their rider's doping, the same for BC's track programme, but that there are riders on the team that are doping. For one I don't believe Mick Rogers was clean when he was at Sky.

If Sky is taking pro-active steps to address anomalies in one of it's riders without any WADA or UCI involvement then that is certainly laudable, but it will also fuel the baying of the Twitter and clinic mob, particularly as Haneo was arguably a favoured son, one of the GC core team and likely to be lieutenant to Froome or Porte.
