Re: Re: You're already making a judgement. You're watching cycling and judging that what you're seeing from Sky is clean... despite the lies. You're judging that, by lying about Pooley, they're not covering anything up. That's a judgetment This isn't a court of law. When wel watch cycling...

Re: Imagine you were a member of a jury, and the accused's alibi was proven to be a lie - that he was 600 miles away from where he claimed to be - wouldn't you think that's suspicious? What we have here is Sky, rather than telling the truth, making a false accusation against another rider...

Re: Re: I'd sum up her involvement as, "She who laughs last." But you make a point: Imagine if she hadn't had a cast-iron alibi? He reputation would be permanently damaged. And that's just disgusting. Fortunately, as I said, she gets the last laugh. I truly believe that that lie is the lie...

Re: Re: You know the answer. You know that, if those deleted tweets disproved her claim that she was dealing with a family emergency, then she'd be a proven liar. And, if she was a proven liar, her claims about that first missed test - phone on silent - would be in doubt. And her claims about...

Re: So? According to 2 very reliable sources (Brailsford an Coe), the dark days of doping are behind us. Why wouldn't I believe them? ;)

Re: It's been a joke to listen to Jackson and Cram mention Cook's record during the last few days. No suggestion whatsoever that it may be tainted. Sure, a country with a large afro-Carribean population, and the fastest woman 200m runner was a white woman running 30 years ago.

What's Rogan been saying about this? Also, do you remember which episodes mentioned Froome?

Froome is doing the Vuelta, starting a week on Saturday. I seem to recall him promising to be tested by independent experts before the Vuelta. Has that happened yet?

Re: Re: My long-held suspicion is that Sky has a centralised programme: #1: They leaders are like robots coming off an assembly line - Wiggins, Froome, Ports, Thomas. #2: The domestiques are stronger than most team leaders, able to spend ages on the front while burning up opponents who are...

Re: Re: Didn't Garmin want him?

Re: Interesting question. My theory about Sky is that after an abysmal first year as a clean team, they had 3 choices: close the team down, continued failure, or doping. They then hired Leinders. Wiggins had "improved" pretty much by the start of the season. Froome also had some good...

Poels gets dropped on the first climb, and he's the only one who can go with Quintana on the Alpe? Are there any non-Sky precedents for this? I can't think of any.

Where are these Sky guys coming from? When riders from other teams get dropped quickly, most of them tend to stay dropped.

Brailsford goes Postal: "French 'bitter' about Chris Froome's success Sir David Brailsford suggests French cycling fans have turned on Chris Froome because they are jealous of British success in their race"...

Ross Tucker's latest piece (http://sportsscientists.com/2015/07/great-power-great-responsibility-less-power-greater-speeds/), makes Sky look like the Keystone Cops. For all their 'superior scientific approach' stuff (my words, not theirs), they don't seem to be gathering even the most basic...
