    Over the past few months there have been many posts regarding the Sky, Chris Froome investigation.

    Many folks out there voiced very strong opinions, some verging on crazy. The witch hunt was widespread and many an internet expert felt compelled to write their misjudged views on here.

    So, now that the UCI has dropped the case i thought i would open this thread for those doubters, haters and general idiots to apologise.

    I’ve ordered a huge humble pie so please feel free to help yourself to a large portion!!

    I guess that’s always the case, and another good reason not to jump to conclusions on specific cases based on flimsy and incomplete evidence.

    It’s reasonable to imagine that there will always be people pushing againt, or trying to circumvent, the rules, particularly when the rewards are so great (and given cycling’s dirty past). But that’s a long way from condemning specific individuals in the way that some did Froome in this case.

    Chris Froome’s AAF for salbutamol?

    Interesting quip on GCN the other day that there are rumours apparently, and that’s all they currently are, that when Froomes lawyers started looking into this they may have indications that upwards of 10 other athletes have gone through something very similar to Froome – with the obvious caveat that they were conducted out of the public eye. One things for sure, we don’t still don’t know what we don’t know….

    Is it really too much to ask for so-called adults, even if they don’t admit publicly to being wrong, to actually learn something or have their blinkered preconceptions challenged?

    I’m not asking for 4 pages of ‘sorry’, that’s not necessary. just wish people could have a grown-up discussion instead of resorting to insults and mudslinging because they don’t want to think. Far too much of a pre-school playground mentality.

    And I’m not being smug. Far from it, there’s no vindication as I never had a firm opinion either way.

    I couldn’t see how he could prove his high salbutamol level wasn’t an AAF. The only defence we’ve heard so far has been his assertion that he ‘did nothing wrong’. I assume more details will emerge. But if WADA and the UCI accept his innocence I guess that’s going to have to be good enough for me. They’re the experts and have access to all the evidence and research

    I see Cycling News are tying themselves in knots trying to find the negative angle on this one.

    You want to pre-judge that outcome too?

     

    Think that’s a call out for a user on here called ‘The Doctor’ who is a team sky hater rather than a qualified GP…

     

    In which case I take it back
