Difference:

Team Manager Disco: Bruyneel who oversaw the Lance Armstrong years, and signed Basso (admitting to at least planning to dope) and Contador (now under a WADA investigation).

Team Manager T-Mobile: Stapleton ~ brought in to run the team in 2007 in order to CLEAN THE TEAM UP.

Sponsors are not staying away from the team itself, they are staying away from owners and managers who have a shady history with doping.
