No wonder wiggins is so reluctant to stand in the spotlight and speak out - must be hard being the poster boy for a clean sport ;)

Does anyone expect Sky to podium at a GT next year?

Not just because the parcours doesnt suit them either, or because Bertie & Mandy will be back.

Wiggins to ride the Giro for a 10-20th place. Froome doesn't seem concerned wih looking sketchy for whatever reason so he might still go balls out.

Sky did you listen to Fabs?

The Swiss rider continued by saying that he was hopeful the times were changing for the better. "Now I understand how US Postal was able to put eight or nine riders in the front on a mountain stage and drop all the others. In the 'golden years' it was all very simple, it was 'training and loading, training and loading. 'Loading', that's the term the riders use when they talk about doping

Exactly, that's why it's so brilliant, there is beauty on what he said. :)

Funny that FabCan chose to speak to "select media" from
"high in the Swiss Alps." Perhaps he was in St. Moritz,
much favoured by Dr. Ferrari?
Did any of the "select media" ask any hard questions,
like "Why would you sign for Radio-Shack with Johan
Bruyneel's well known history as the dirtiest DS in history?"
Or was FabCan "shocked" to hear such things?

Still waiting for Radio-Shack golden boy FabCan
to comment, but he is strangely quiet. Hmmmm.

Only way Radio Shack golden boy FabCan has any credibility is to come
out with a very strong statement against Lance and US Postal now.
Something tells me that's not going to happen though.:rolleyes:

I'm still waiting for an explanation why FabCan
signed for the dirtiest team/DS in history.
But I'm not expecting it any time soon.
I guess "the select media" aren't interested
in the truth.

He signed for Leopard prior to Bruyneel joining.

The pressure is on.

"Team Sky need to come clean over Geert Leinders"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...at-cycling-can-regain-full-trust-of-fans.html

"Sky deny that the employment of Leinders had anything to do with doping. But in the current climate, no longer will cycling fans be prepared to accept anything less than complete transparency. Full explanations are required. It will be many years before the sport can enjoy the benefit of any doubt."

If you had been avidly following his twitter as much as you seem to then you would have noticed he was at the top of the Jungfraujoch which is in his home canton and not near St Moritz. Would certainly be an odd decision to try and find Ferrari at the moment to talk drugs as he could be being watched;) Not much training to be done at the Jungfraujoch unfortunately as its 3571 metres up, nice views though:) Maybe the selection criteria were those who had a head for heights and some warm clothing?

More from Wiggins:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ot...gins-I-saved-doping-like-Lance-Armstrong.html

‘It’s not about (Lance Armstrong) as a person, it’s about the culture of the sport and peer pressure.’

People like Michael Barry, I can relate to. I don’t envy him the peer pressure at US Postal with Armstrong there. You can’t condemn these people for the rest of their lives, they’re not Jimmy Savile. I’m very fortunate I was in the system. British Cycling supported me. Chris Boardman in my early 20s probably saved me, he taught me to do things the right way. That could’ve been me.’

‘Not really, no,’ said Wiggins. ‘My main concern is that I’m the winner of the Tour de France having to pick up the pieces for other people.

‘I saw a report on the BBC saying this now leaves the sport in tatters. It is quite the opposite considering the summer we’ve had as a British cycling nation. Now we’re the ones picking up those pieces. We’re the ones that have changed the sport.
‘Steps have been taken a long time ago, which is why we’re one of the most successful sports for catching people.’
