Sir Dave Brailsford @ Select Commitee
Any see any of Sir Dave being grilled about TUE's, Wigging's, and THAT jiffy bag? Shifty as fuck.

That explains it. My ignorance of that whole stank of a pastime is up there with my ignorance of everything else.
It also makes Carc's original post slightly clearer...just slightly though.

I want Team Sky to be clean. That was the whole ethos behind the team.
But sadly, I now have serious doubts.

Steve,
Team SKY broke no rules. Of that I have no doubt it in my mind. However, in the spirit of fair play and given that Dave Brailsford's supposed ethos is based on 'marginal gains', ie: making sure each rider has the best possible pillow to sleep on at night, allowing your star rider (Wiggins) to take a powerful steroid before the 2011 and 2012 Tours de France and 2013 Giro d’Italia really does make people question the whole thing.
I won't bang on, because there are some good articles today in The Guardian if you wish to read further. But after 10 weeks of SKY playing silly beggars, it turns out the drug delivered to Wiggins was for clearing phlegm, which could be bought for a couple of quid from a French pharmacy and completely legal (although not in England). Yet, it was flown out to him from Manchester, Via Geneva, and driven through France. Secondly, the drug in question shouldn't be used by people suffering from Asthma, for which the TUE's Wiggins was injected with was to counteract.
To me, it's just a total fucking PR fuck-up and SKY have been tripped-up by trying to appear whiter-than-white when in fact they are (legally) gray.

Doped to the fucking gills. I don't care about that, all of my favourite cyclists were. It's the whiter than white hypocrisy I can't stand. They are doing exactly the same as us postal were with Lance Armstrong but pretending things are different, same old shit.

I have an original 2000 US Postal Jersey puddin'. I wear it with pride on my shitty old mountain bike when I feel inspired to go for a ride. This one:the puddin wrote:Doped to the fucking gills.

I agree, I hate all the bullshit too. I got sucked into the who Sky thing. Brailsford is a complicated character. I like him, but he definitely has two sides. His sharper than sharp suit, designer bins and flash watch didn't do much for me, I must admit. If I was appearing at a select committee hearing I'd tone all that shit down. Shane Sutton, who appeared on the committee before DB, came across as a bit of a cunt, or should I say, an abrasive character.

It's a shame Froome is such an unlikable cunt really. Nice bloke. Amazing rider. But has the whiff of 'cunt'. Plus he's Kenyan. White tho.

He's not an amazing rider. Contador rides the bike like a dream. Best quote I've heard is Contador is a great cyclist who takes drugs and Froome is a great drug taker who cycles.
