Doping

I use finishing bottles during warmups.

Is Freeman going to get chucked under the bus? This latest testosterone malarky seems a stretch, from reading the Guardian article it was 9 years ago, was BC not Team Sky and it seems it was opened by someone else, who with some other Doctors challenged Freeman about it and he claimed it was sent in error and the package sent back.

He suddenly seems like the tethered goat.

Cyclingnews are reporting that some unnamed Sky riders are lobbying for Brailsford to quit.

Seems like a clickbait, while it's hot story. Just stirring shit like a school girl.
If they won't go on record, don't bother running it. Just hearsay.

Alright, Donald.

A source close to the top told me that all of BC and SKY were microdosing EGO...

Well the buck stops with him. Whether there has been doping or not, there certainly has been some appalling management and decision making at both BC and Sky. Brailsford likes the spotlight a little too much, this shit is going to define his legacy if he's not careful.

See you in court.

Seems Sky riders are starting a new hashtag on twitter #standwithdave

Kimmage mocked it by saying 'I'm Spartacus' which makes Brailsford a leader of a slave revolt, no?

Goodness me, yet another PR masterclass from Fran Millar. "Hey guys, we're up against it here so if you could just AMPLIFY THE IMPRESSION OF US BEING IN A CRISIS BY ABOUT A THOUSAND THAT WOULD BE GREAT"

Should have stuck to running rigged criterium races.

Is the Nocturne rigged like the post tour races?

If Sky apply their own ethical standards (i.e. Murdoch) to this issue it's difficult to see them turfing out Brailsford. There would need to be broader consequences for them to act.

Of course.

What has she done/said?

Why would they bother? No one cares, most people are there to ring cowbells and watch their friends in the amateur and novelty races.

Apparent SMS messages to the riders telling them to get on Twitter in support of Sir Dave or else. Cue ALL the ex BC boys tweeting near identical messages. Chris Froome tweeted about a nice steak dinner he'd had instead.

In other news, Simon Mottram understands a key part of enjoying a party is knowing when to leave.

Why would any of them bother? It's to put on a show. That's why there's always a suicidal solo break that might just almost might nearly so close OMG they're gonna w... oh no the bunch sprint got them.

Rapha are still sponsoring Wiggins / Team Wiggins, no ?

Team Sky try to set the record straight;

Well that clears all of that up then. Who's for lashings of ginger beer and a macaroon?

One wonders whether if they had released this earlier some of the shitstorm might have abated.

But I doubt it. Anyway the damage is done, judging by comments popping up on my FB newsfeed joking about their massive bags of drugs.

WTF were they pissing about with "support DB guyz" tweets when they had some genuine points to make.
