Do people rememeber when Wiggins came out and "wrote" a blog during the Tour and the majority of people were "Well done Wiggo, he is deffo clean" Well I see the same thing with Froome.
At the moment they are just empty words tbh. After his rise over the last two season I just think its utter bull. Just because Wiggo "writes" a blog in the Gaurdian or whatever doesnt mean he is clean. So he writes a blog and that instantly makes him clean.
I for one havent forgot Froome's early season illness and then suddenly he is kicking backside at the Tour after missing a large chunk of base traininng and racing miles.
I for one havent overseen his mediocre results prior to the last two season. Then just because he says he doesnt fully agree with a stupid sheet he has to sign peope think he is awesome and clean and holier the thou?
How can an interview for such an important subject take 10-15mins.
"Hi Chris"
"Hi"
"Have you ever taken band substances"
"What like coke or LSD?"
"No"
"Oh you mean like *touches side of the nose*"
"yes"
"Errr no"
That 10-15mins includes him asking questions
"Can I be leader now? I did a good season"
"well, we need you to tone it down a little"
This for me is a mixed message:
“I can’t say I 100 per cent agree with it because there are individuals out there who probably have touched something in their careers when they started but for whatever reason they may not have carried on as cycling evolved and ever since may have been doing something good for the sport, possibly. They'll be painted with the same brush so I can't say I agree with it 100 per cent in theory. However, it is where we need to go with the team.”
Is he saying there are people within Sky who have? If so, who? Come on Chris, put pressure on Dave to come out and say.
If its outside Sky youre talking about, well, it doesnt concern you and the signing of this sheet.
“Whenever I, Brad or anyone does well at races, the thing with Leinders kept coming up. We don't need that as riders. We know we're doing it the right way but not everyone can see that or how hard we're training to get the results. It's better for the riders if we don't have association with anything that could happen to anything.”
Why wasnt this brough up to the management earlier? Why did it take so long for Sky to get rid of him then? Why havent Sky answered questions of what he was doing out with you lot in Tenerife when you were training so hard? Why wasnt Kimmage et al allowed to come and see for themselves?
Saying that it's good that the questions are being answered and it is in a way cleaning the slate so that a new generation can go forward and people can start trusting in the sport again. There's no way it's happening anymore.”
Are they being answered though Chris? Are they? I say no. Sky have a LOT of questions to ask on there hiring of dodgy doctors and their activities out in Tenerife and the lock down of the media, it just stinks of days gone by.
“We were so dominant throughout as a Tour group, through so many races. There have been a lot of comparisons between us and Discovery, and us and US Postal and people are drawing similar conclusions now which is understandable.”
Made by your own Team Leader Chris, your own Captain!!!! You say its not fair, have a word with the sideburn king Chris, dont lay it onto us fans or the media. The sideburn Mod King was making that comparrison!
“Even if you have someone at your training camp, anywhere, there will still be questions as to what you're doing when he's not there. I think it was possibly a bit naive not to look into people's past before employing them,” he says regarding Leinders.
Not in this industry Chris lad, we need a transparent passed to ensure this sort of sh!t doesnt happen and ruin the sport.
I can see through this bull sh!t now take the Sky Oakleys off and have a look into it. Typical Murdoch PR bullsh!t
the point was I always believed lance to have been a doper. long before all this. I say current cycling is very clean, yet there is no evidence so far that I'm wrong in this. yet others lose themselves in some imaginary world where appearantly it is proven that sky and many others are doped.
