I have no issue whatsoever with Kimmage, or any other journalist, raising legitimate questions about conflicts of interest or doping or any other topic. I've read a lot of Kimmage's work and still think he is an excellent journalist.
However, I think his activity on Twitter makes him look unprofessional. He engages with, and encourages, the worst of the cycling Twitterati and gets involved in their hysterical rants on doping. I have no doubt that doping is still an issue in pro cycling, but the shrill nature of the tweets of certain individuals, their complete lack of objectivity, their cherry picking of evidence and data and false and erroneous accusations are ridiculous.
A worthy summation, will rep you if I can. There's right and wrong ways to engage in an anti-doping crusade, but Kimmage twitter activity just makes him look very bitter, and daft. And he's only been after Sky ever since he was blocked from embedded with them by Wiggins. There is no objectivity from Kimmage when it comes to him.
