Of course you kind of want it to sort itself out but this is all looking a bit Sharapova at the moment. Long practice of minor PED use and blame it all on a crew member when the shit hits the fan.
Then again, leaks of information always look a bit suspicious to me. Especially if it's a leak of information that would either a) be made public as part of normal procedures or b) of higher prejudicial value if revealed before the completion of those normal procedures. Leaks either happen because someone wants to blow the whistle on a coverup or because they feel they stand to gain if are exercising control over the story. In a situation like this, the latter seems a lot more likely than the former.
We should definitely be keeping close watch on Simon Yates. But we should also ask who stands to gain from pushing the story out early and potentially muddying the waters/influencing the jury.
