Thanks, Sky, for running two teams under the same banner, and getting everyone tarred with the same brush.

That wasn't my point .. specific finger-pointing.
My point was that "all cyclists are on drugs" referred to the road-racers. The track guys (and chicks!) used to be, effectively, a different sport, un-tainted with all the drugging-up, but then Sky merged them all into the same team, and the same assumptions.

This thread sort of proves my point. "His cancer was through drugs".

It doesn't.

Who, from Team Sky, has been proven of performance-enhancing drug taking?

I know what you are saying, in that Team Sky encapsulated track and road cycing. But it doesn't mean it should be lumped in with the rife drug taking of other road cycling teams.

I know it doesn't MEAN it should, but it does, to the general public. I refer you to the opening post.

Didn't the Team Sky and GB cycling team doctor get done for doping related activity recently? Oh yeah, just saying...
