I don't disagree with Sky being mainly questioned. It's obvious that this is going to be case when they are in yellow after the Pyrenness. I already said that I hope Paul carries on this. The point about being too fixated on Sky is that I feel this questioning is done at the expense of not doing it to other teams at the moment. You can still question Sky and still do it other teams as well. With the PR campaign that Sky came into the sport on, that still doesn't mean other that other teams should be left off lightly with questioning on the dodgy doctors that they have. If a team has one they deserved to questioned and judged similarly as others that have one and even more so if they are still currently employed in the team.
Kimmage found time to go to the Garmin's press conference last week. I have heard Kimmage on numerous interviews on radio, CN, Velonation and the majority of his focus is mainly on Sky. He constantly goes on about Leinders and rightly so but I never hear him going on about the dodgy doctors that other teams are still currently employing. Yet he still is on the case with Leinders even though he has been ditched in the process.
Your point that Kimmage is the only one asking questions of Sky and Froome doping is frankly rubbish. Kimmage mentioned a French journalist last night(name I'm after forgetting) that pulled Froome up and asked him a question on doping after he left the podium to collect his yellow jersey. Kimmage said he normally doesn't ask doping related questions. John Leicester with the Associated Press also did this on Saturday as well. Regarding Leinders, Walsh has questioned Brailsford on this already and so has Daniel Benson. In the case of Benson, Kimmage praised him for once again asking the tough questions on this.
And you say I can't be serious for my expressing my point and yet you called Dan Martin a doper yesterday.
Interesting you say this when Walsh said exactly the same thing only last week.
The Kimmage stuff is all straw.
He is fixated on anti-doping, not Sky. They say they are doing it clean, yet it looks and they have acted suspiciously.
How many times have ordinary people asked you in the last couple of years, is Wiggins doping, Froome doping or Sky doping?
How often have the same people mentioned someone from Astana, Radioshack etc?
And I did a quick look at your last 25 posts here on CN, spot the subject that you are fixated on?
Is Walsh on the Sky Bandwagon - 6
Tour de France Stage 10 - 1
Sky - 1
Froome Talk only - 1
JV talks, sort of - 1
Tennis - 1
What are happening in Brazil, why? - 1
Eurosport commentary - 1
The Real Football thread - 1
Somethings beginning to sink - 2
Frank Schleck - 1
Ted King - 1
Where will Richie Porte finish on GC - 1
And thats not a criticism or anyway negative, its an observation.
But a lot of posts were in The Clinic, and almost all of those were in relation to Sky. Again, I see that as normal as obviously this is an English seeking forum, and Sky are the biggest team.
