Strange as it may seem, Redgrave actually makes an important - and fair - point.

The system allowed Team Sky to abuse a powerful PED.

yaco said:My understanding is the Parliamentary Committee can only make recommendations and have nothing to do with the judiciary - The Medical Council make their own decisions and punishments.The only conceivable way this could get to the judiciary is IF there was some kind of medical fraud - For example, charging the taxpayer for bogus claims.

Matt Pinsent used to hold the record for any sportsman, with an 8.5-litre capacity, a measurement that dwarfed the average adult male's 5.8 litres, easily beat Steve Redgrave's 6.5 litres, and was way ahead of endurance cyclists such as Lance Armstrong (7 litres) and even Miguel Indurain (8 litres).
"I will be writing to Mark Zuckerberg asking that either he or another senior executive from the company appear to give evidence in front of the committee as part our inquiry," said Damian Collins MP.
"It is not acceptable that they have previously sent witnesses who seek to avoid asking difficult questions by claiming not to know the answers."

however damning and critical the DCMS report was on sky, it was a 1 week story at best; you two seriously think any posters, even here in the clinic are losing sleep over a possible DCMS II?? sky/DB's demise or survival is more likely to be decided in Disneys/other boardroom rather than at DCMS.
as i see it, the posters who are in serious denial & agony are the serial sky defenders whose blind denial and contortions of logic, (in the face of clear and open abuse of the rules and their own often stated ethics) are funny/tragic in equal proportions.

I am struggling to see how you can defend the DCMS report when it was politicians who directly funded BC and indirectly funded Sky - These politicians have shown a lack of oversight in ensuring they were funding programs that followed the rules of the sport - Collins and his ilk are hypocrites of the highest order.
