Good natured humour?

tax dodger??? we talking lewis hamilton here or chris froome, cause i believe they both live in monaco these days???

Fair point. Could ask some questions of either. Hamilton also dodged some tax by registering his private jet in the Isle of Man. I don't think Froome has a private jet BICBW.

and you asked the question about what questions Mo face, but i'm pretty sure that was last year and not this year

No, he remained with Salazar until October this year.

and many questions were asked of Mo at the time and all were answered........

During SPOTY 2016? I must have forgotten that interview. Is it online anywhere? It's not in the youtube copy at

i never said it was on last years SPOTY but it was while he was competing in rio and during the london world champs, many questions asked and many questions answered, it was also all over the papers too.............

again Hamilton doesn't live in the UK so where he pays his taxes and too whom is anyones guess, same can be said for chris froome....but what your now doing is taking the thread off track.

Right: not on SPOTY so massively different to what they did to Froome.

No, I'm still replying to the suggestion that the gasps at SPOTY were due to Froome's answer rather than the blatent gerrymandering of the BBC by asking the question of only one candidate, which is very unusual - possibly without precedent?

Now, who was it who made that claim which took this thread "off track"...?

you could hear the gasps of breathe last night at the SPOTY awards when he made the statement "i have never taken to much of my inhaler"

i'm pretty sure my claim was about chris froome drug taking and the mention of it SPOTY..............i made no reference to tax dodging and asking the questions of Mo farah and Lewis hamilton........but hey ho

Yes but why was it OK to ask Froome about ongoing doping investigations and not Farah about the ones connected to his coach this year?

But I suspect you're OK if people apply one rule for Froome and another for everyone else

 

[rich p]

I suspect Chris Froome wanted to answer a tame question. Ffor it to have been unmentioned would have seemed very odd.
It was clearly choreographed and rehearsed.

why should Mo Farah be questioned about his coach........Mo isn't under investigation for drugs use, chris froome is

Tony Martin gets ‘clarification’ phone call after accusing UCI of ‘double standards’ over Chris Froome case
German says he's now satisfied that case is being handled properly, but will continue to be outspoken about anti-doping

If they're still on World Tour riders who have published misleading statements about it, I guess they won't get around to phoning @jowwy until well into next year

He'll be serving his ban by then

You mean like Bjarne Riis was and Lance Armstrong was and Chris Froome is.

It appears they all speak with forked tongues.

 

[hoopdriver]

Unless you have some absolutely gobsmacking evidence to the contrary, there is a vast, vast gulf between Chris Froome and Lance Armstrong.

 

[Tin Pot]

All this accusing and defending people we’ve never even met.

Not defending (or accusing) anybody - just a journalist with an interest in accuracy in reportage
