I don't want to sound like d*che, but this is start to stink a bit like UPS.

Leave the team, get popped...

That makes no sense, if he was doping at Sky why get a former rider who is no real threat popped and risk him spilling the beans, unless you are saying that the regime at Sky made sure he would not fail a test and saxo are less competent, which goes against the JTL scenario.

I'm not trying to make any sense. Just pointing out that MR, riding like a stud on a winning team, leaves team and gets popped. It's far from unprecedented, and it makes me uncomfortable...

That's what I would say. It's somewhere between "test to never test positive" and "those positives never get processed, or those suspicious results just sit there in the APMU."

Unpossible! Right?

I don't see why the JTL scenario invalidates the hypothesis that Sky are the best at keeping dope undetected. JTL's problem dates before he signed with Sky.

Uh. Did you mean: rides like a stud, clean, on the CLEAN TEAM, lowest weight with highest power since 16 years of age, leaves Team Clean for financial reasons, rides like a dog, gets popped for Clen at a poncy 2 bit race pretty much noone turns up to in Japan, won last year by a Continental rider from Australia.
