Team Sky reassess 'zero tolerance' towards doping in search for staff

[woohoo]

If this has already been posted, then appologies (I can't see any reference to it).

Dave Brailsford has admitted Team Sky's much vaunted "zero tolerance" policy towards doping in cycling has had to be softened as he searches for backroom staff who can improve the team's fortunes.

I seem to recall reading it on some forum or other...

I'd guess it's kind of difficult to find anyone with experience that hasn't been implicated at some stage or another

nobody remembers the people who come second it seems, so in the pursuit of victory, compromises appear to have to be made.

I d call it desperation.

Just read Brailsford's comments. Seems perfectly fair and rational to me.

I can see his point, but you either have a policy and stick to it or not.
whats he seems to be saying is if we want the best people to help the team we may have to bend our rules a bit.
Well whats next ? in 3 years time when the sky deal is up for renewal and the team still hasnt got anywhwere near winning the TdF will he bend them a bit more to sign a suspect rider?
oop's they already have.

This is the same Dave Brailsford who was dining with David Millar when he was arrested, and knew he was working with Cecchini when he made his comeback but stated he would have nothing to do with Millar if he worked with Cecchini?
