Bah.Landa.This is getting tiresome by Sky.
Oh wait,Sky is British.A Brit owner and DS would never dope his riders

Bu-butt but but but we saw very little of Landa, maybe he made all that time on all the wet curves

Re:

As Rogers has stated: He has a congenital heart defect he's born with, and his condition began to deteriorate last year and was detected before the Tour Down Under, and he was pulled from the race by Tinkoff out of caution. He now has arrhythmia. Trying to blame lack of detection on a team is stupid, blaming it on doping even more stupid without any facts other than the condition itself.

Good post.

This is true, the UK does have very high ethical and moral standards in general

Yes, Sir Reedie & Lord Coe have done an excellent job in maintaining standards

How much of Sky is actually British, seems like a big lump of it is US owned?

JTL was sanctioned at Sky, nothing happened, so, no, Sky will not disband.

No need to worry about that happening. They have that report that will get release that shows how this Henao was high altitude and nothing else to see. Just need the doctor or the institution or the team or ???? to tell them to release it.

of course that was from before team sky

Mark L

Wow you still believe that myth?...he spent most of the year training with Sky. He was busted as a TeamGB rider also under Brailsford's watch at the time.

He was signed to Endura at the time though wasn't he?

Anyway I thought the view was that Sky were protected - if so how did one of 'their' riders get popped?

I dont recall Brailsford saying he would honourably fall on his sword, like JV swore and then ignored.

Brailsford is the guy who ran from France and kept quiet that he was with David Millar when he got arrested. I don't think Brailsford would disband Sky till he has milked it to death.

He got popped at World champs in TeamGB colours. Brailsford wanted rid of him as he was a donkey and this was the quickest way?? Who knows the machinations of the cesspit aka professional cycling....

It was easy to pawn JTL off on Endura.

Re: Sky

sir dave had seen how dehydration propelled Paula to such great times and asked JTL to get himself into such a state for the worlds...confused the hapless JTL did it the only way he knew how, get seriously drunk then not drink for 24 hours (too rushed, like Jans weight loss)

like Paula the results are there for all to see...lead group at worlds

dehydration is the new hydration

 

[Kokoso]

It's interesting how are Sky riders falling at the same time - Sergio Henao is obvious, than Kiry, König, Intxausti... Just coincidence?

Why has noone gone after these guys? Like in a similar way to how Walsh went after LA? Wouldn't it be nice if Kimmage got them?

It's the epitome of the marginal gain. Less than marginal, only more than marginal at the same time.
