You have missed a few.

Steven de Jongh for one, Steve Peters stepping back and doing other things. This poll is stupid.

Why did you vote on it then? - I Haven't.
As I said someone else requested it - just wanted to see if I could set one up. Most polls are stupid! Just take it as a bit of fun or ignore it:) I would say the choice is yours but you've already voted:D

Good point about de johng. Thought about that after also could have put in Rogers seeing as he seems set to move. There are other suggestions above from Hog etc. that could have been put in as its the clinic. Unfortunately I just copied the posters suggestions. Anyway hope that clears that up

Big one that is due to others this one has flown under the radar a bit...

So Sky dont have any doctors anymore? Who is gonna take care of all the dirty work then?

Alan Farrell - Joined the team in 2012, was the Doctor at all three GT's in 2012. Young lad from Ireland, only graduated about ten years ago.

Rich Usher - GP, used to be the doctor for the british rugby team, worked for the WTA and ATP. Works part time for sky.

Richard Freeman - Been with sky since the start, spent 4-5 years at Bolton Wanderers (who definately dont have a doping policy), hes not full time as he still works for the NHS.

Phil Riley - Former GP, was also a doctor at Bolton. Doctor in rugby as well. With sky for a couple of years.

Are they a medical practice or a sports team?

How can you be so sure Bolton don't dope? I don't think they would have stopped just because of what happened to Muamba.

I think the original premise of this poll was from coineach posted on the Sky thread as a question on how much the debate (if you can call it that) has shifted. I'm assuming as a result of Sky having got rid of a number of members of staff recently.
I'm not sure what insight this poll gives us as all candidates are have been connected to possible/probable doping.
However seeing that Leinders is out in front i'd guess that the conclusion would be that nothing has changed those that believe/want to believe that Sky dope remain the same those that believe/want to believe that Sky are clean (tended to vote for Rogers) remain unchanged.
The Sky thread will role on indefinitely!!

Cavendish.
F*ck Yes! How the f*ck did i forget him?? I suppose it was because i just copied the names from the post and didn't really think about it.
That's gonna cost them albeit they didn't really set their team around him this year anyway. To have the best sprinter leave ain't good!
IF you notice all of the contenders are doping related so probably why they forgot as well.
I also forgot to include Barry - D'oh don't think it would have made too much difference though..

Further makes you wonder what cycling specific doctors do that made team Sky so desperate for Leinders. According to Brailsford it was so hard to find a suitable doctor. Suitable for what exactly? Interpreting saddle sores. Yeah right.
