Head in sand Phil Liggett and anyone else involved at a similar level in cycling would have to be exceedingly stupid or totally senile not to suspect Armstrong, but that doesn't mean that they knew anything concrete. So calling him a liar is probably over the top. However, he must have had...

Of course Brailsford is damaging cycling as a whole. Maybe I'm being naive, but I strongly believe that reformed dopers like Vaughters, Millar, Julich, etc, can do lots of good. Some of these ex-dopers are utterly committed to a clean sport. If leading team managers like Brailsford exclude...

Well said. Brailsford needs to look at the bigger picture and take some responsibility for the overall business not just his team.

What, me worry?

I'm not saying that past dopers don't deserve some sort of punishment, I just believe that those who have come clean have a part to play in sorting out the mess they helped to create. You could even argue that guys like Millar have done more good than harm in the long run. If Brailsford's...

If you have been there and done something, it gives you far greater insight. Don't you think that guys like David Millar, who clearly hates his dark past, are being truly helpful to the new generations of cyclists? Evangelistic even?

I think Vaughters is more likely to take us to a better future by using the experience of past dopers to help guide the sport. In Team Sky both Julich and de Jong were great assets. To have them leave just because one guy can't let go of what appears to be a personal crusade is just crazy.

If Brailsford can't embrace pro cycling warts and all, he should stand down before he does any more damage. Guys like Jonathan Vaughters are the future.
