I have to say the post you put up mr Hog is the clinic at its finest... these jokers at Sky and Walsh try to bully the sceptics.. we know what we see, something not believable. Especially in regards to Froome.

Great post Hog.

Just wait till Walsh becomes really old, he'll be sitting in a old persons home shouting;

"It was the Russian guy, Giro Di Franco! He attacked I tell you, Bradly Froome attacked on Alpine Di Sol, he only rode one Tour de Giro before he won the Delta Di Esponga, are you listening to me?!! Don't you people listen or check your own facts?!"

*Nurse reaches over and covers David in a warm blanket*

"It's ok David, it's ok, I know, it was the Russian guy, he came 2nd behind the Russian guy, sleep now, here's your pills, try to get some rest, we can talk about Froome attacking on the Alpine tomorrow"

:rolleyes:

The doping cheerleaders can also participate in that so. A few gold medal contenders there. ;) :p

walsh, by his hypocrisy, words and cheerleading of froome and sky, is a de facto cheerleader of doping btw.

I'm not talking about de facto.

It goes both ways intentionally and it includes both journalists and fans.

Commons select committee making Walsh look like he was at best a fan with a type writer and at worst paid to do PR.

He is trying to recover his dignity as a journalist on twitter long after the boat sailed. Be surprised if ST don't let him go like Kimmage, now he is questioning their little cycling team's clean image.

Or maybe Sky/Murdoch want rid of Brailsford?

that's more hypocrisy from walsh.

what's the point of asking for brailsford's head.

as if this story were about mismanagement.
when it is about rampant doping.

This is why i suspect Sky/Murdoch want rid of Brailsford, because the story is doping on a team Sky from Wiggins to Froome.

Why is everyone concentrating on Brailsford and ignoring others?

Why is Wiggins not being asked by Commons Comm what he took?

Indeed, Walsh focusing on Wiggins and Brailsford is more snakeoil.
Brailsford stepping down and then Sutton moving to the AIS is a good scenario for Sky/BC.
Great deflection away from the real deep PED issues at SKy/BC.
And Sutton needs to be sweetened.
BC can't keep him, but they can't leave him homeless either, because he could decide to burn the house down. So Sutton to AIS is perfect.

I hope they manage it, like you posted here.
Sutton gets a coaching spot to AIS and DB steps down or gets a different role.
give me Sky with its deep PED issues over Team Bahrain any day
I dont want them to fall and fold

Make "The Package"" episode 1 "Skyfall" episode 2, "The Doper" Episode 3 etc

What about the prequel, "Revenge of the Bots"?

Walsh was never a bot. He was always a parasite. He feeds off the host. Sometimes that feeding benefits the host; other times that feeding hurts it. Walsh is a reporter--he doesn't care.

Indeed. I almost...well never mind, I do have more disdain for him than I do Sky in this episode. I find it impossible to believe he really believed all the rot he was printing about them and that he missed the mounds of evidence that they were lying about..almost everything. He was complicit and he did it for money.
