  • I am just stating that I am not as surprised as you are about this mess.

    And I am just curious to the answers to the questions asked, not hurrah’ing the ones writing the vile things.

  • I'm not surprised by it. I mean it has been a long time coming, I haven't really watched Froome either, because I don't think he should be riding.

    BUT the arbitration until a decision is made over the AAF should be confidential, a luxury denied Froome by someone deciding to leak it and the Guardian deciding to publish it. Which meant this played out in the public arena which has made Froome look worse even though he is following UCI rules exactly.

    And when he was poor at the start of the Giro I was relieved, because I thought we would be spared the complication of him winning the Giro, then he did that thing and we are here. And you are right it is a mess, but not one of Froome's making.

    Oh and everyone we can can relax about Simon Yates. William Fortherington in the Guardian has said he must be 100% clean because he cracked in the Giro. Because that is exactly how doping works: ride well and you are cheating, ride badly and you aren't.
