Nah...that wouldn't be enough to sell a book, get TV appearances, and a sports column in the Mirror.
Why would he want that? He is a cyclist and the cycling community is his life? Why would he turn his back on that?
Selling a book does not make one rich for life unless it sells millions. Not that many care about cycling.
The TdF is all about attracting foreign tourists to France. The racing is secondary. Cycling is still a small sport that those outside it know it is full of doping. Not many outside UK would care about sky doping book.
Walsh has written a lot of cycling books yet still needs to earn a wage as a hack.
I agree with Cannibals assesment^^
It's all possible, both what you and I propose.
However, I'm not sure I agree with your view that an expose wouldn't sell.
You can't have it both ways, you can't say Sky/UCI are making mega bucks from new interest in cycling, and then say that nobody would be interested. Of course they would.
There would be an Oprah moment, although it would be Froome appearing all fat, sweaty, and unshaven on 'This Morning' being interviewed by an indignant Richard Madeley on his moral high horse.
