Not so fast Hog.
I didn't provide the links because I took my children out to the park.....I've now got a brief interlude before I meet some friends at the pub for the weekly quiz......you see I'm not glued to the internet waiting to counter whatever weak blows you come up with.....real people are more important. to me.....especially my own family...
....however....thank you Granville for posting those links. ...they are the very same ones I would have posted myself when I would have got round to it.....it is especially gratifying that you did it in a non-partisan way because you saw that I was correct
....now to hogs failure to understand how publicising this spat was a career move....its very simple.....he wants to corner the market as the anti-doping crusader journalist because doping stories are the big sellers.....Tour winners are also big sellers but Walsh got that gig (you will try and leap in and use that as a counter, hog).....he also sees an opening now that Walsh has moved himself away from that as the focus of his work.......so what does Kimmage do?....he tries to discredit Walsh and he does it by alleging a massive row in an airport where he "shouted at Walsh for two hours"
Why does he want us to know this detail?....because after all, the only reason we know it is because he has told us....nobody else has....he wants us to know it because he think it will demonstrate the purity of his cause...
.....ask yourselves this.....who told us about this argument....did we really need to know?.....why did he want us to know?
I must admit, hog, I am a little surprised at your naivity as to how the media work.
