Cause the cycling season has finished.....how long is it to the first race 😁Well, someone apparently recognised it after Sutton had left the car according to that but to be honest I'm not that interested in this non-story. I'm not sure why I've let myself get sucked into a dreary discussion with a pedant
I’m not placing too much faith in the testimony of many of the participants. IMO there are many old scores being settled and some memories of what happened in the late 1980s appear to be vague,completely wrong, just opinion and possibly impacted by old age (or other things).

Another old score being settled? Someone blew the whistle on Sutton in 2016, but the complaint was simply passed to Sutton, in a story eerily familiar to many who ever complained about a BC club: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...sutton-corruption-allegations-british-cycling

The sponsors must be happy with his signing. Maybe it doesnt matter that he doped

Well at least he finally saw the error of his ways and stopped cheating.
It is very encouraging to see an undoped rider aged 49 still able to keep up with pro riders less than half his age...

i agree that it’s s*** he carries on, and is only fair to be described as questionable that he has carried on, my point is that the fact no sponsors seem to have objected to his signing is pretty damning to the notion that doping doesn’t pay
And another old doper at the tender age of 44, still going and sponsored by Pablo Escobar for Team Medellin...allegedly
