I don't think there's anything wrong with a dose of healthy scepticism, although the US Postal comparison can do one.
We should question Sky and seek to discover how they get their advantage. But I think it's clear that a large part of it is budgetary, they have a larger budget than most teams and spend that budget wisely. They also manage to get big name riders to subsume their own personal ambitions for the good of the team. The likes of Landa, Kwiatkowski, Thomas, Poels and even Henao would be leaders on other teams, but at Sky they sacrifice personal ambition to back Froome.
I'd also add if Froome is doping then he needs to up the dosage.
