Because this team has been so honest about its practices in the past, we should all believe them now?

Why so defensive? I never expressed an opinion on whether I think Sky are doping are not. I was merely pointing out that there are already lots already (5 or 6 threads on the front page), all spouting the same lines. Is this one really going to provide anything new and original?

Another Sky related thread. How original.

What about Mr 2001 Paris-Roubaix, Servais Knaven, in all this doping purge? Nobody seems to have been focussing on him too much. Rode for TVM 1994-99 (enough said), and beat proponents of clean cycling such as Museeuw, Hincapie, Dierckxsens, Wesemann, Tchmil, etc to win P-R. Suspicious?

And now Bruyneel has surfaced on Twitter and endorsed Mig's comments. The ultimate accolade. Grande Miguel! Siempre ha sido un Caballero, y siempre lo sera!

If you are UK tax resident and not declaring the income paid to your overseas accounts, that is tax evasion/fraud - a criminal offence. Different from tax avoidance. If you're a non-dom (i.e. foreigner living in the UK for a period of time) then what you suggest is not unusual. However, to...

Is this discussion about the plaster for real? Like Tyler, if you were using needles, you would be paranoid about being discovered. You would not go on national TV in a short sleeved t-shirt in a plaster, nor would your team let you.

I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt, until there is some genuine evidence against them. I don't call most of what is written on this forum genuine evidence.

Well if you think everyone who wins a major race is doping, which seems to be the general consensus on here, you will obviously be right some of the time.

JV, what is the best way of getting rid of wasp sting marks? I got stung about 4 weeks ago and still have a fairly large red lump on my arm where the lovely wasp entered me. By the way, I love your posts on here. Some of the theories on here are completely ridiculous and unfounded (as you have...

In your own words, I think you're being a little bit silly.

You don't know what he was doing. Just because he wasn't making a song and dance about it in public doesn't mean he wasn't doing anything worthwhile.

His results from when he rode at Cofidis would hardly suggest he was a rampant doper, but I am willing to be proved wrong. It just seemed like another thread making veiled digs at Brailsford, of which there are plenty already. ???
