I'm a bit surprised that Strade Bianche is still with no doubt in program, of course nice that's it, but the weather is not so good

Wout Van Aert won't mind a bit of mud 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

In hindsight it is nice to have only one team with the name Lotto in the WT. It saves a lot of confusions.

This is just stuff that's already known. Sky, as well as every other pro cycling team, bend the rules as much as possible. Sky just get the flack because of there stature as one of the biggest teams.
It's the responsibility of the UCI/doping authorities to tighten the rules to stop this. Stop wasting time and money reporting on teams not breaking the rules and start asking the relevant authorities why their rules are so easy to get around.

I agree, Team Sky deserves our greatest praise for finding all these loopholes. If it wasn't for them, other teams would abuse this and cheat their way to victories. I salute you, Sir Bradley!

This news comes as often as Rojas comes 4th, so probably roughly when Rojas retires.

This latest Sky "news" is about as non-news as you can get. Makes for good headline but if you actually read the content you'll find that MP's found zero actionable evidence of wrongdoing inside Team Sky, just a further confirmation that they operated cleverly inside a loophole in the UCI and WADA codes. Use of TUE's as granted by the governing bodies to boost performances, which is obviously morally wrong but because they were official TUE's Sky were not breaking any rules.
Yes Sky come out looking dirtier than a victorian chimney sweep, but again there is virtually nothing to make a real legal case with. And if you think no other major team or rider has ever used loopholes or acted imorally in cycling you're just another deluded fool.
The whole damn system is full of corruption, loopholes and vague rules. Nothing here is new or unique, keep your eyes on the Salbutamol case for actual proveable results and wrong doing.
My concern these days is what the knock-on effects on British Cycling will be. Damage to the track cycling programmes, development programmes, domestic scene and public opinion. Cycling is a brilliant activity that needs real boosting and support, not more controversy and troubles.

I know it's unrealistic to hope they retroactively ban Sky-affiliated people for this kind of stuff.
What I do hope this eventually does is make everyone and their mother hate Team Sky, if we're not already at that point.

Icarus won Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars today, so either this is the mother of co-incidences or the anti-doping 'awareness' stars have aligned today.
Oh and nothing will happen to Sky

For me the other rider should have a big penalty. You can't grab the other rider's brakes without a reason.
The reaction is justified imo
