come back in a year and tell me if anything's changed, sky won't be affected one bit by todays news
I can't even count how many pictures I've seen of Cookson riding in full Sky kit. He ran British Cycling and was around during the development of Sky. Considering that BC staff ran tasks for Sky, I'd say the links are there and the
optics of it all were horrible. If he wasn't pulling strings for Sky, he certainly didn't make himself appear neutral.

This. Cannot understand how anyone would imagine his riding around in any team kit was acceptable. There's such a thing as being seen to do the right thing.
If a sport's governing body are truly in a position when they have to pander to their biggest sponsor no matter what the cost to the credibility of the sport or individual riders etc., then
the sport truly is doomed. No matter who that sponsor is.
