    Re: The SKY is falling!

    Other journalists do have access - As said before, Sky are opening up and learning from their previous mistakes, possibly made on the advice of their experienced cycling management who have now gone........

    BBC have access for one, I suppose Matt Slater is in on the conspiracy too? i can see it now - News International have their tentacles into the BBC too headline shocker.....

    I can actually be in Limerick that night so will ask David Walsh on your behalf if he is colluding with team Sky if you want. And on Kimmage's tweet, that could be aimed at the ineptitude of the UCI as well as Sky. If the two of them aren't seeing eye to eye it could be interesting. Note Kimmage also tweets Wiggo is completely 'anti-doping' - so if Sky are at it, does that mean they are doping him without his knowledge? Pretty far-fetched in my view.

    Looking at Kimmage's tweets, Roger Palfreeman is a name I haven't heard before - but it seems he is on the UK anti-doping TUE committee and an advisor to UKAD, also worked with Rapha Condor, recently left BC but the media weren't advised, so that makes it wrong.

    Seems everyone linked with BC who has any knowledge of performance has the monkey on their back now.
    Heading into a personal headwind....

    Re: The SKY is falling!

    I am not talking conspiracy Buzz and you know that. I am asking questions. Yes Matt Slater was in Majorca with all the others for the PR blitz but I don't see anywhere that he will be spending more time with them. But are they really opening up? Who will be in Tenerife when they go back. This is exactly the same as last year and what happened then? PK was refused access after it being promised and he has lost his work at News International because he kept writing stuff the lawyers didn't like. So I would say that is a Conflict of Interest for him to with regard to what he says. As in Parliament they can be declared and objectivity can be retained. I would trust Walsh and Kimmage to do that. The sad thing for me is that the Daily Mail appears to be the only media that is asking questions.
    The same ones have been asked for over a year and have not been answered.
    I don't know what is happening with BC so have no comments there.
    Question for the two gentlemen if you are in Limerick - please ask both of them whether they have been given full access to Team Sky this year. Have they asked for it? What was Sky's response?
    Really like most other people I want this endless conjecture and suspicion to end.
