Team Sky, Brailsford and doping

I posted this a couple of months ago but Leipheimer mentions Rogers in no. 68 and 69. No smoking gun but the other names in that list are pretty unsavoury...
...Salvoldelli, Popovych, Mazzoleni, Kashechkin, Vino and Levi himself. It could be that MR was the only clean one there and didn't discuss EPO with Schumi but...

Thanks for sharing rich ;-)

But the east germans were best on the track and the Peace race wasn't meaningful.....

In Moscow Olympics 1980 Soviet Union won more medals than East Germany winning Team Pursuit, Team Time Trial, and Road Race.
Furthermore, in Moscow Olympics 1980, a famous UK athlete failed a drug test during games, but KGB covered this up to ensure their agent's reputation and career were not destroyed.

And wo can disprove or indeed prove this from 32 years ago? You may state a truth, or it could simply be wild speculation. Care to name or do you like your house too much to have to sell it?

With ex KGB it is not your house you worry about.

Naming no names but I've just found someone else to go on my ignore list.

I think it's too unclear not to state opinions on this without caveats.

This is a forum on the internet. I'm not sure it would exist if everyone waited for facts before stating an opinion ;-)

Linda McCartney team under investigation. Big UK names rode in that team, Yates, Wiggins (signed but didn't race). Matt Stephens, Max Sciandri, Julian Winn, John Tanner,Charly Wegelius, Cearon Power. Some names there linked to Brailsford & Sky.

My point is that if you say "I know x" I would suppose that there is fact to back it up, even though this is an internet forum, otherwise say "I think x" and feel free to state an opinion, with which I have no issue. I mean, I don't have a problem with miss-statements really, as long as you are prepared to clarify if someone is interested in what you are saying.

Wegelius has always been dubious. And we know all about Yates.

Chris Newton rode for McCartney and is now on BC coaching staff. I think recently working with Team Pursuit squad.
