I'm not ready to give up on Cookson.
If you look at how he's favored Sky over the past years, there's not much reason left to believe in him.
Under Cookson, Sky have carte blanche.
But that doesn't mean he won't be responsive to pressure from the fan base.
There has been qiuite a bit of pressure for reformation in the wake of the USADA report. It's why Cookson was forced to make all these uncomfortable antidoping promises in the first place. Those promises have turned out to be hollow. He still squeals that CADF is independent, but the reality is that the CADF office is next to his own office.
Then you look at other things, his son working for Sky, Cookson failing to find that a conflict of interest, Cookson sticking to Zorzoli, sticking to the Lausanne Lab and Saugy, not addressing motorization, no retesting of older samples, selfies with Merckx the Legend. etc.
