Is there no end to the things you can be wrong about?Parker said:When a media outlet writes "[Name of outlet] understands" it means "we haven't got a clue but here's a rumour we heard and liked"Merckx index said:Which contradicts the previous story of back-and-forth between Froome's team and LADS, a story which was not directly denied by Froome or anyone representing him at the time. Or maybe the contact has been through back channels? Would Cound count as not direct?Subsequently, Cyclingnews, seeking further verification of the story, understands that there has been no direct contact between Froome’s representatives and the UCI
