Some journalists have indeed been us vs them inciting fans

Re:

since when was the british media any different? their blind patriotism didn't start this year.

No very true most reporters are going to favour their home riders. But haven't seen many British journalists accusing riders in the peloton of doping because they are doing well

Re: Re:

lol. When even a rabid Sky defender like gooner is trying to cut their losses and apportion the blame equally to both sides, you know exactly who is in the wrong

My position hasn't changed one bit.

If you think my toxic reference is about what you suggest, I worry for your comprehension skills. Kind of proves my point it's all about personal vindication with your "I won't be fooled mentality".

Very telling how you and others criticise Walsh for his comments on the French(rightly so) and yet not a whisper from you on the distasteful comments on twitter by Vayer all because he's on a certain side of the argument. In fact it's lets listen to more of Vayer and forget boundaries and perspective in the process.

Very telling indeed.

Many more examples like that which paint either side of the argument in poor light. I just don't want to be part of it or around it. Simple.

I'm anti-doping but I would never want doping to exist to just have my point proven so to give myself a big pat on the back in the aftermath.
