Froome and Wiggins TUEs

[Venod]

Didn't Froome come second the year Wiggo won the TDF

Yes and could have won easily if the team had allowed it.

Wow. "Debating the validity of a Tour de France victory" is surely deliberately escalating the framing of the debate.

BBC News reporting Hoy as speaking about TUE abuse. Wiggins will be lost on a bender very soon.

Wiggo's chance of SPOTY 2016 looks less likely than it ever did

At least this TUE thing is providing me some minor amusement of a morning

The timing of the TUEs says all. The regulations are in place for those who desperately need medication at a particular time and Wiggins did not.

He cheated, end off, in my book.

He claims he did need it

The new Team Sky kit, with T U E spelled out repeatedly in morse code

That's a lot less recognisible (sorry about spelling, beers have been taken) in the peloton than the blue stripe. A lot of teams out there with black shoulders at the moment.

I think that says sly with a weird Y.

I think that says sly with a weird Y.

My guess at what the dashes represented is a whole load of less bollocky than the explanation given as to what they symbolise.

Looks more like the Sky TV reception we get whenever it rains heavily.

Apparently Wiggins is not going to be subject to further investigation regarding the mysterious jiffy bag. I am going on twitter information which mentions a Times article. But they hate free access, so I hate them. That and Murdoch being a dick of course.

 

[Stonechat]

So back to the real story, i.e. The Russian state sponsored doping

 

[Louch]

Yes and could have won easily if the team had allowed it.

No he wouldn't. Take away the two controversial attacks and he was getting as much help from wiggo as he was giving wiggo. Don't let edited clips and sound bites fool you

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Dave Brailsford is up before a commons select committee tomorrow regarding doping and is expected to be questioned regarding Wiggos TUE and the medical package delivered during the TDF
