Do you think Sky is cheating?

(Title edited to cut down on confusion, sorry about that, now the answer to the title question and poll question align.)

Well, listening to the stages podcast and watching the tour after a couple year break has got me wondering. What do people think about doping these days?

I guess I might be starting some **** with this thread, I swear I am not trying to troll or anything. I am genuinely curious about everyone's opinion. What do you guys think about team sky and doping, specifically do you think Froome and Wiggins doped/dope.

I personally assume that it is likely but have not spent a lot of time investigating the topic, I guess I am just not too worried about it. I would like it if the sport was clean but it just seems unlikely.

hopefully I can figure out this poll feature.

For me, there is enough doubt about everyone that I have not followed competitive cycling in over 20 years. It can still be entertaining to watch for a few minutes but I'd rather spend my time with a concert video or a movie.

I think a more important question is "What % of the all the starting riders in the TdF are clean?"

More than 50%? Less?

Yes, they have a program and they meet the current standards, until they don't.

BTW, folks should note that this poll asks two different questions that are worded differently from each other:

1) The Subject of the thread: "Do you think Sky is clean? (lets try to keep it civil)" and,

2) The actual poll question: "Do you think Sky has a "program?""

Sorry, I meant "program" as in, Illegal PED program cheating of some kind. I get now that if you just read he title you might vote wrong, crap, I should not do poles.

I will see if I can fix it up somehow.

There are many dead polar explorers who might feel the same way, if they could be asked..

Speaking of poles.... I support single moms one dollar at a time.






It's a joke. Sorry.
