Well, I haven't really followed this story and my understanding of it is superficial at best, but it seems like such a mess that my tutting was certainly partly directed at Sky. I don't care for (Team) Sky in any way other than that Tao rides for them, and I'd hate it if his career were messed up because of this.
I agree with Alb that there's some connection with public funding in the role that BC plays etc. Whether that justifies the report and its conclusions I have no idea.

I hope you're tutting over MPs sticking their noses into stuff which is absolutely none of their business. Firstly, cheating at games is not a matter with which a national government need concern itself, since games are a private contract between consenting adults who have their choice of civil tribunal to decide any disputes, and secondly if anything happened here, it happened in a foreign country to the detriment of foreign nationals, so it's not even peripherally related to any proper function of the UK parliament or government. Wiggins is a twat, Brailsford is a dick, but neither have done me any harm whereas politicians grandstanding over matters far outside their remit while neglecting their proper duties is bad for all of us.
