I'm not saying whether Sky/Froome are guilty or not. I don't know. There are people who do know however. Sponsor's are becoming more and more difficult to find and if this type of situation isn't eventually resolved, irreparable damage will possibly occur. Unfortunately, it seems that sponsor's, teams and riders are only interested in the short term and how much money and fame it brings them. If in later years, the truth that comes out of this for Sky/Froome turns out to be the same as for USPS/Armstrong, will these people feel it was worth it? I assume so if the monetary reward was lucrative enough. If this continues to be the reality, it totally sucks for the people who love this sport.
