Team Sky, Brailsford and doping

Looks like from reading it they are getting parachute payments for coming clean, whereas anyone outed later will not, so I expect that's a strong incentive to confess if you know it will come out.

Lots of pretty experienced guys going, should be a benefit to other teams who are not so fundamentalist in their approach.

How do you figure that ? I cannot see any suggestion of pay offs, maybe I misread.

Brailsford said a few days ago, that anyone who 'fessed up during the new interviews would be looked after financially, or words to that effect.

Rich .... are you not worried they will find out about your murky past ?

Ninth paragraph:
Julich, Yates and De Jongh will all receive parachute payments for confessing to their past but any members of staff signing a declaration of innocence who are subsequently “outed” as proven former dopers will be sacked with no financial package.

Weird, when I open the links I can see no mention of this.

There are two articles:
This is the one I got the quote from - having looked again its not the one linked in the previous post (I had followed a link from Micheal Hutchinson on twitter not the one on here), so that explains why you couldn't find it.

Thank goodness for that, thought I was losing it. Ta.

IMO, no great surprise about Yates but it also (IMHO) shows a lack of awareness on Brailsford's part in recruiting some of these guys.

Mmmmm. Yates has retired not been sacked! Not linked to the anti-doping statement APPARENTLY!

Anyone convinced by this.

Bit gutted TBH, i also thought Yates was a bit of a legend.

Don't see why Sky would lie....but it is a bit odd timing wise!
