sorry but we've seen this movie before. team sky came in (post usps/armstrong) and promised to be completely transparent, and they were, for a short time.
cue wiggins and his transformation and then (even more miraculously) froome's. the promised transparency has become increasingly cloudy and reliant on
deflecting/parsing/parrying inquiries as to questionable developments. expected. as their methods/model achieved results, the pressure to replicate the results becomes
greater than any ethics, transparency or sense of fair play. there are some decent riders within the team's current ranks and i hope they're able to extricate themselves
before they become ensnared or involved with what's sure to come out in the wash in a week, months, year, years...i don't live under the illusion that every team
except sky is pure as the driven snow-historically or currently-i tend to presume a lack of purity. it's a little different tho, when someone rubs your face in it, smiles, then says
"oh sorry, mate. my bad. hope you can forgive me." that said, i hope thomas goes full rogue on froome (and the team) in the first week and bleeps up the systematic/systemic
nonsense.
