Wow, thanks for all the responses. A lot there to digest. Everything I had previously read suggested cyclists were left to themselves for too much of their training.
Second thing that bothers me is the omerta thing, I understand how it worked before... say.... 2010ish as so many Journalists and fans were prepared to proactively turn a blind eye. But now? There are a lot of journalists who would love to blow Sky apart and a lot of cycling fans ready to listen. If there were obvious holes in the bilharzia then I would expect to see interviews with the world expert in the parasite splashed accross every website and sportspage, it's be a carreer maker. But all we get are anonymous people in forums. Same with getting the scoop from any ex-sky employee, carreer maker.
How many people would be in the know and be keeping quiet for Sky to be running an organised doping program? I imagine there would be serious money in the book deal for whoever spilled the beans first.
p.s For the guy who didn't realise, was being toungue in cheek about Quintana, his performance at such a young age was if anything more impressive than Froome's.
