  • I'm really up for catching Sky out for doping and a good bit of public execution etc. if, we can see some vague evidence that they are. I've still seen nothing, and so all this is just getting a wee bit dull.

  • Just like those Lance years where all that evidence popped up to stop him and his team winning another Tour... oh...

  • There was that evidence though. The failed test in 99 for cortisone that was covered up with a backdated TUE, a French TV crew filming team staff dumping medical waste, including Actovegin packaging, in a bin in a lay-by miles away from the race, the testimony from the likes of Emma O'Reilly, Steve Swart, Betsy Andreu etc, the links with Ferrari and l'Equipe's work on the 99 urine tests.

    With Froome and Sky there is nothing like this in the public domain. Which suggests it either doesn't exist or there is a conspiracy so successful that they've managed to cover it up. I know which one I think most likely.

  • People are clearly hyper sensitive to accusations or signs that people are doping, information moves a lot more freely these days and citizen journalism etc means that getting incriminating evidence would be much easier.

    I think things have moved since the Lance days, at least for the fans/ journalists being willing to call people out
