What Teams get away with

Not open for further replies.
Decided to pick on team sky as they seem an easy target
Sorry all you fans of sky :)
Besides any obvious clinical things that should be kept somewhere else.
What rules infringements/law breaking/bending/moral and ethical rules has this team got away with lately ?
And also is there any other team historically that could me measured in this uci buddy scheme?


1. Froomes orientation skills showed off when he left his keys in the bike.
2. Moscon racially abusing a fellow rider
3.Rosa clearly agitating Moreno (looked like an elbow to me) to inforce an violent reaction
4. Froome punching a fan (think he got a little fine for that tho ) ?
 
Sad thread actually....

1) Haven't heard of such incident. Why pick on a rider for being forgetful?
2) Michael Albasini towards the same Reza... ring a bell?
3) Kittel agitating Grivko earlier this year, provoking a violent reaction... ring a bell?
4) Contador punching a fan in a Doctors costume on the mouth in the tour 2011.. ring a bell?

I'd say the whole premise of your thread is BS...sorry to say so. The cycling history is filled with blatant mishaps by riders/commisaires/UCI/spectators.

Ahh thanks for calling my thread sad and bs makes me all warm an fuzzy inside and will surely think twice before I post anything in here ever again or maybe is should send you it first to prof read ?
Sure this was an open forum for people to post things ? Or is it not intellectual enough? Or shall I just keep to reading posts ?

So what you're saying is Sky don't bring anything new to cycling, just copy everything that's ever been done in the peloton? :razz: :razz:

Moscon got a 6 week suspension and handed out an apology hardly getting away with it. What rosa did was not unusual in the peleton however the reaction by Moreno was way over the top if anyone is to be blamed it's him (hence his exclusion and apology), froome got a fine for punching an annoying spectator, yes he was in the wrong but under the circumstances I understand why froome did it even though I agree its worst. I really don't see why you believe sky are being given special treatment the sanctions they have received are in line with the ones other teams got for similar incidents

True but that's just unfortunate I don't really think there's much more you can do, still it's a six week ban and that's the principal. What's more sky received plenty of negative press through this ( understandably), but I do feel that because it's sky they get a harder time for it.
