Fran Millar.
Of course she could be wrong, but I doubt it. |

Is that 70 minute time difference between notification and time of arrival normal?

How do you know, when you gave up reading?
That is a typical reply - quote out of context and make the other person look silly - well arent you clever. I am so impressed with your intellegence and maturity and worldly knowledge.
There are 60 pages of comments and suggestions and ineuendo - NOT ONE FACT or piece of evidence. You are all making suggestions from behind the privelidge of screen names.
I will (Sorry Miss quote) quote a comment here - He wasnt tired when he finished a stage - How do you know? did you speak to him? Did he say so? Did his Dr or manager say so?
How do any of us mere mortals know what goes on behind the scenes - we dont and so to make ourselves appear to be far more important or knowledgable that we realy are we pretend. |

Can you explain why the improvement in Team Sky's performance runs concurrently with the hiring of Geert Leinders?

I think they notified him when he finished but he still had to go on the podium after the notification.

Okay, I was merely wondering, because after reading the USADA report, about the saline and stalling and stuff... but that does seem like a reasonable explanation, as long as that is the right one

So did you give up reading after several comments or did you read all 60 pages to know they don't have one fact or piece of evidence?
Which is it?
Don't worry, that's a rhetorical question. If you had in fact read the 60 pages (or even half of them) you'd be well versed in the evidence by now.

Wow, they suck so bad they didn't even manage to suck. Those guys sure do suck.

Apparently Zroome believes Sky's latest announcement on their new doping policy statement/approach means they will lose staff/riders. The irony potential here may break some large piece of the space-time-continuum construct, one day. We'll see.

I don't think they will tbh. It will be the same as before, they cant sack/refuse to hire them without a define charge against them. Unless some of thier staff finally decide to be honest. Sure, signing a form makes them slightly more liable if it later comes out they have doped but its still pretty damn tricky to reclaim money. All it means it that if it does come out its easier to sack them.
I'm not suggesting Sky dope incidently, merely that I think its fairly obvious that any Pro Cycling team today is going to contain cyclists and staff that have doped/been complicit in doping. |

Brailsford recently said in an interview that staff would be able to talk about what they did in the past, and wont be fired unless they represent a risk going forward |

I see this is turning into the the old Armstrong explanation. "I passed over 500 drug tests".
There is as much cheating now as there was in Armstrong's day with the exception that the riders and teams now are better at masking.
Sky's anti-doping policy means squat. Throw out a few sacrificial lambs to make it look legit and pacify the fanboys.
But, but, but, he's British. He's not cheating he said so. For f*%cks sake. Sky was US Postal all over again at this years Tour.
