Did we need witnesses? It was a very open secret at that point
By late 90's we had Bassoons..........where is Sky's Bassoons?
Nice deflection.. On the defensive are we?
But okay, I'll adress your points in hope that you will do the same next time?
Yes it was an open secret that everyone was doping..
I clearly remember Riis toying with Indurain up Hautacam...
And Festina the following years... Just ridiculous!!
And that was what i thought of it then...
But where were the witnesses talking in the midst of things?
Try answer the quoestion as it was originally posted and in it's context..
You cling to Bassons as a witness and ask for a similar character today, But Armstrong wasn't the only one doping right?
And Froome hasn't yet run a 7-year regime has he?
Empiric data shows that a witness talking in the 90's about the 80% doping peleton were close to none...
Why should things be any different today?
Is it also not possible that the enablers/dopers learns from the past and keeps secrets in minor circles than earlier? look at Riis/Kreuziger..
Why do you think they are so supportive of a doped rider that is charged for doping in another team, before his arrival to Saxo/Tinkov?
Maybe because he knows things right?
I believe fewer are doping (because it is smarter for the top-guns this way) but for 10-15 years it has been impossible to establish a credible top-ten in a GT... The point is that you claim one thing as evidence
now that you very well know might not surface for the next 5-8 years...
Or??? You think the GT-Podiums are clean, only defending TeamSky of course.
On that basis if the hog posted that he had heard directly from Sky staff that Sky dope would you give that credibility? ..........

I ask you questions, and right away you bring Armostrong and thehog into it...
Why?
thehog has as far as i know never claimed insider knowledge to TeamSky..
I asked you: what if the poster is right?
And you refuse to answer, only to sideline him with your fave-snatch-buddy..
I don't care about your little in-fights, but please leave it out of this...
