According to her Cyclingnews profile, she was inspired by Bjarne Riis and Jan Ullrich to cover cycling. Maybe she would be happy covering a cleaner cycling continent, like South America for example....

Every big name in cycling ever has some sort of doping related taint, yet for some reason they all ok but Froome isn't
That's because they all actually doped, in a Faustian pact because winning without doping was, for them, impossible. Froome wins without doping, which just annoys people (especially journos) because there's no mythological narrative to pontificate about.

I think history tends to be kinder to them eventually. Merckx was disliked during his time and was infamously punched by a spectator in the 1975 TdeF for instance.
While Froome is winning everything and Sky are so dominant in the Grand Tours haters gonna hate. Not helped by Sky and Brailsford being so fucking awful at PR.

The hand-wringing poor-me tweets over this TdF have been hilarious. So many 'I used to look forward to July but now it is ruined and so is the sport'.
