Well, that's fair enough. I don't think it's credible, others do. The Leinders thing never convinced me - either Brailsford is lying or he is naive to have thought a Rabobank team doctor had not been involved in doping. But that doesn't mean he was hired to dope the team. I'm not convinced that organising doping is beyond the skill of any doctor, I don't think there are special medical skills required. Willingness was the key. Willingness either because they are corrupt, or they genuinely think they can keep the riders safe from the risks of doping that will happen with or without them or just because they wanted to keep their jobs.
In a clean team I don't see any reason why the same doctors wouldn't be happy not to have to deal with doping any more.
