He didn't take anything before the last stage of the Dauphine. The issue is whether he took something after the stage as, at the time, WADA rules on in competition covered the entire day of the last day of competition, so he couldn't take anything until midnight. That rule has subsequently changed to conclude once all post event anti-doping duties are met.
Sky haven't stepped over the line, as that would mean someone would've been charged. They've just gone right up to the line.
I was trying to work out what he would have taken before the last stage of the Dauphine, he had a minute and a half lead so some kind of recovery product? We know they had cortisone and testosterone at various points.
The whole affair does leave you thinking how much you can trust the current Sky riders unfortunately. Brailsford is clearly willing to step over that line.
