King Of The Wolds said:Mods - let's get this one closed down. There's a million and one Sky threads, and it appears nobody has absolutely anything at all on Shane.
We could literally open a thread on anybody who has anything to do with a WT team in the desperate hope that somebody knows somebody who knows somebody that could smear some s***, at this rate.
There's a million and one ______ threads, and it appears nobody has absolutely anything at all on ________. That goes for more than half the threads in The Clinic. This is a discussion forum, people tend to discuss things here. Even exciting new teams that win by doing everything differently and better. Doesn't that last bit sound so 1999?King Of The Wolds said:Mods - let's get this one closed down. There's a million and one Sky threads, and it appears nobody has absolutely anything at all on Shane.

You don't have to go far with enquiries with those riding in the 80,s , early 90,s to find views on the guy that don't exactly sit with Sky,s stated intentions.
No, he never did test positive...neither did lots of others...

Mrs John Murphy said:Sutton and Rogers seem to be doing a very good job of staying out of the media-glare. Everything has focussed on Yates etc, the question is whether the media will keep digging or will go back to sleep.

Gallagher needed to have a very, very, good source when his editor asked - is this playground chatter or genuine - how big do we go?
Sutton obviously was feeling the heat after the piece in the Mail on Sunday, on the previous weekend.

......I am not sure quite what his managers think of what went on but hopefully Gallagher will, in the not too distant future, expose his source

Brendan is getting the red carpet laid out for him by Fran. Access to all the stars. Treatment deluxe at Glasgow ? Nope I don't think we are going to be getting news on his source anytime soon. I think "never" is how it stands right now.
"Brendan do you want to accompany Lance on his private jet to Texas ?"

When Julian Winn tested positive for Ephedrine at Guadeloupe in 2001, two other Brit riders also tested positive but came under the jurisdiction of British Cycling not Welsh Cycling. They were let off. Some guy at Welsh cycling resigned over pressure put on Welsh Cycling to forget about Winn's positive. Welsh coach Sutton was in the mix somehow. Managing the team at Guadeloupe and then giving Welsh Cycling a hard time? By 2002 he was at British Cycling. Who were the Brit riders, can anyone remember who was in the GB team ?
