Doping

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.

I think Brailsford would likely take it as a personal affront if someone doped despite the team being set up to maximise performance without recourse to doping, but I also think a leopard never changes it's spots.

I don't think Sky care that much about the Clinic or the Twitterati, they don't want to get bitten on the arse again like they did with JTL, so Henao has been suspended at the first hint of an anomaly. They (Sky) know they are going to get bad press for this, but at least they have the balls to do it. How many other teams would do the same?
