Money-where-your-mouth-is time, Brailsford delivers (though I don't believe he didn't know sooner).

Sad to hear about Yates, suspect he was not an easy figure to dismiss. Where will it end?
I wouldn't give Boardman a job as a used car salesman!
Anyway, just thought of another thing that was unusual about LA in that he concentrated only on the TdF. Kind of unsporting when the competition exerted themselves elsewhere? But also perhaps it was easier to pass dope tests when you do fewer events.

I read somewhere that this was exactly why he did it. There was no whereabouts system so they just went an hid in the mountains. The more you raced the more chance of getting tested.
As a strong a case for Chris Boardman as anyone else out there. Maybe we should just accept that when he was moaning during his career, it was indeed justified because far less well equipped riders were able to cheat him out of wins he would have had.

LA lost is key to the city of Adelaide today. I wonder if they change the locks.2127369 said:

Any news of the SCA claim? Weren't they due to go to court yesterday if there was no cheque?
Brailsford and Yates are buddies. They go cycling together. This was not an easy meeting
This article is must-read, pure comedy, ...

The website reports that rather footing the expense of travelling to the US to retrieve the key, Armstrong's name would be removed from the honour board where the recipients are listed. Others to have received the honour include Cher, who sold her key on eBay for close to $93,000 earlier this year, the Dalai Lama and comedian Barry Humpries who is perhaps best known as Dame Edna Everage
In 2011, Yarwood travelled to the US to hand-deliver the key to Armstrong, with Adelaide rate-payers covering the partial cost of the trip however, the American was not in residence in Texas. The key was later posted to him

Was this posted elsewhere ? Apologies if so. Good blog by The Jensie.
Remind me. I've read it but I can't recall what he said.
Tyler recounted an episode at the Tour of California I think where Jens blanked him after Hamilton's positive test came out. After the Hamilton book came out, Jensie was somewhat vocal on Twitter about how he hadn't read Tyler's book "Why would I read that?" etc. when you'd think, if your most high profile team mate came out with the revelations he did you'd at least make some comment on your perspective on him.
But it's a small point - it's good also to see cyclists coming out and saying they didn't dope and explaining why they didn't.
