Hey folks...

How do you think this case with JTL will affect the SKY PR strategy in the time to come?

So far (before this and TUE) they have been very offensive with the anti dope-holiness, but from what I've seen of their reactions in the aftermath of this, they have been pretty defensive..
Will this continue, or are the pursuing an acquittal behind the scenes since they haven't been too damning?? In their comments as to JTL yet?
------------
The conspiracy angle below..
------------
Is this case an example of "wag the dog"? Pure speculation of course..
(but given the rumours of UCI and SKY beeing secret lovers the question has merits?)

Well Sky did prepare and pay for his defense so they've obviously got something to hide :)

Also, the casual reader may need to be reminded that Sky and BC are one and the same. Perhaps best summarized as BC provides a variety of services to the Sky organization.

"Provides a variety of services to" doesn't make them the same organization.
 
ok

You corrected nothing in relation to my post. You just gave your own incorrect interpretation.


ok which is more factual your 'JTL was doping with BC at Worlds'

or 'my 'JTL was riding with BC at Worlds'

my quote is 100% factually correct...................I still await your evidence for your quote suggesting that JTL was on a BC programme/doping with their consent

You don't need to await anything.

What evidence to you have to the contrary that he wasn't doped by BC?

We know that his has been suspended for 2 years for riding doped at the Worlds under Brailsford/BC. He was training with them, had a letter of intent and was using a Sky power meter and wheel set.

Unless you know something deloitte does not that is far from true.

You mean the report that modified 4 times over and had its scope changed? :roll eyes:

Double pay day for some of those guys ;) Tax payers money well spent...

The same goes for other staff members and I think it makes Team Sky unique because no other team has so many senior staff involved in other projects. The likes of Bjarne Riis, Marc Madiot or Jonathan Vaughters aren’t caught between a pro team and a sideline activity, whether it’s coaching a national squad, running a farm or other time-consuming roles. It’s a full time commitment.

The concern wasn’t just mine. The funding organising in Britain, UK Sport, was concerned about paying British Cycling staff with state funding, only to see them also working and paid by Sky / News Corporation. UK Sport hired consultants Deloitte to look into this last April.

Substantial Questions
At the time the report was expected to appear in the summer but six months later it’s not out. I can reveal that the initial enquiries have generated substantial questions over the relationship between British Cycling and Sky, not to mention a round of discussions between the governing body and UK Sport. Indeed ongoing discussions mean the public version of the report is unlikely to appear before 2011.

hoggy you made the claim hence onus on yourself to prove so..........I reply again you're lieing making stuff up

thanks!
Mark L

Its lying Markey not lieing. Slow down and pace yourself.

And again nothing is being made up, its just that you're in denial about BC and JTL.

I'm sorry, just the way it is. Not sure I can help you here :cool:

This post is reported also.

Nothing wrong with that post. If you have any evidence it broke the rules feel free to share it with the authorities.

Until then, let me remind you that JTL doped while sky studied him and he rode for BC/Brailsford.

Not something you would expect from the cleanest team in the peloton.
