Yes, be poignant on this coming to light. However, to jump around shouting doper doper, is not the correct manner to deal with it. It's not fair on the individual to be smeared to quickly. Not so long ago, JTL was a dream kid, winning the TOB. Cycling fans as so eager to turn their fury on anyone with a smell of doping, which is right, but here he has only been sent a letter - not factually tested positive. If the committee is unsatisfied and deems him to have doped. Then shout from the rooftops. And god have mercy on British Cycling, with the resultant comeback.
Let him try and answer, with a good degree and then shout doper if it be so. It's not a court of law, but respect is due. And to tar everyone at the first opportunity, due to the pasts wrong happenings, is ill-thought and unneeded
I don't want to believe he doped, and if it be so, that Sky weren't so stupid to have hired a doper. As it won't just tar SKY, but BC. It will be HUGE and the repercussions will be shattering.
