A friend of mine, formerly a senior figure in BC, was very careful to stay well out of any BC/Sky business. He thought conflicts of interest were so obvious that people would get burned.

Thanks for raising the lack of support for Womens' cycling by BC during this period, especially Simon Cope's journey with the jiffy bag.
Deloittes, well read the back pages of Private Eye...

Of course there is wrong-doing all over the place, it's just that there's no evidence that any involve drugs. Starting on day 1 with the absolutely obvious conflict of interest (not a potential conflict of interest) having staff working for both BC and 'Sky' (TRL) at the same time. Just one small example which ties into the doping investigation was Simon Cope, a BC women's coach, instead spending time flying to deliver a package for Sky, a men's team. Another was BC women wearing Sky branding despite not getting any funding.
The fact that Deloitte or whoever it was didn't find a conflict of interest back in 2010 doesn't diminish that.
