      The only one i tend to think of not doping during that time, was poulidor. He kept losing to others so must be clean. Or they were just more juiced than he was.

    I remember meeting Wiggins at the hotel in Shell Beach, California while he was in Yellow in the 2014 Tour of California. I thought since I was English and had my Union Jack on my shoulders like a superman cape he would be a decent guy but he was an absolute d1ck. He did take a pic with me but wasn't happy about it. The next time I saw him was 2016 at Tour Of California with his new Team Wiggins and he was drinking a coffee sitting on the bonnet of a team car and asked him for a pic and he wqs rude as hell. Sometimes meeting famous people you admire is not what you think it will be
    Of course I've since come to accept that Team Sky was "110% clean" and my whole perception on these riders has changed but at this time I was just happy to meet riders that would eventually go on to win their classifications at the TDF like Pogi, Bernal, Cav, Wiggo (had already won TDF) and others like Aliphileppe

    It never made sense why Wiggins left Vaughters after he got 4th place at the Tour. He had to that point been pretty anonymous. His explanation was he needed to make the jump to the "Manchester United level" or something to that effect. However, Team Sky was not anything special at this point. He then of course won the Tour and then became buddies with Johan Brunyeel and Lance and it became clear what this guy's orientation was.
    The chart at 0:20 was pretty revealing. It is highly improbable that Chris Froome won 4 Tours legitimately. He is riding now at the same level he was before his Team Sky days.

    British taxpayers and the National Lottery effectively funded Team Sky by paying for everyone and everything on the elite side of British Cycling (who run our Olympic Team, national championships etc). Said ‘everyone and everything’ also being assets of Team Sky. Staff (and riders) literally had two job titles: their British Cycling job title and their Team Sky job title, while really only doing one job. There was no separation of roles and equipment - down to the point where the same (infamous) laptops were used for both roles / organisations. It was an incredible deal for Rupert Murdoch, as he got all the advertising while other people paid.who must have been waiting to have his collar felt (but it never happened). Though it was a scandal waiting to be exposed, nothing was going to happen while British riders were doing so well under both banners. But once testosterone was discovered, it was only a matter of time before Murdoch decided to jump before he was pushed.
