I do agree with this, however the pendulum swings in exactly the opposite way, that all British athletes dope, that is organised from the top down, that Cookson is protecting Sky like VB and fat Pat protected Lance, and that because we are British and have a strong anti-doping rhetoric those involved are horrible liars and manipulators. Those that firmly believe Sky dope, and dope to the gills, get incensed by the ZTP, marginal gains PR and all the puff pieces in papers about their revolutionary methods, which makes them far worse hypocrites than teams from traditional cycling countries that dope but don't have all the PR denying they do. It's a bizarre logic.
At least they form a nice antidote to the thoughtless, little England, plastic flag waving support of all things 'British'. And the ridiculous assumption of many that brits don't dope.
