• Lance's getting away with it was, in part, a failure of journalism. Fear of being blackballed, of not having the cover story that would add thousands to the circulation, of advertsisers pulling out, journalists getting too cosy with athletes and being flattered in to quiescence.
    Will anything change now in other sports? Will writers on athletics speak up about their suspicions, about the records, set by known dopers, that keep getting broken, about the training camps and disreputable trainers and doctors? Will they dare to put two and two together?
    No, I don't think so either.

    There were a few exceptions in Paul Kimmage and David Walsh but the same thing is happening now with Team Sky.

    Even Wiggins compared Sky to Banesto and USPS...
