    A nice idea, but Brailsford is missing the point there. Anonymous accusers don't want the truth, they want 'truth' of their own construction. And certainly don't want clean cycling. What they want is to be indigent, to take the moral high ground and to feel that special sense of superiority that comes from separating yourself from the mainstream by criticising what they enjoy. They want the idea of being important by having followers of blog and tweets. With clean cycling that goes away, because they have no actual connection to cycling. Without gossip, they become irrelevant.

    Spot on.

    Any video yet?

    AFAIAA, only the cameraman incident so far [ http://www.cyclismas.com/2012/07/wiggin ... sults-fly/ ], not the %*@!#!$*g polemic.

    According to Mr Rendell, ITV were trying to get it but the file is corrupted (?). They will play the audio tonight (beeped, obviously). I don't think anyone was filming it as it was nt supposed to be a conference for tv. I did nt know there was a difference tbh...

    I am starting to worry that all of that running around with a little curved stick in a kilt has affected your intelligence.
    A kilt? Why would I be wearing a kilt?

    I still want to know why I'd be wearing a kilt, O Intelligent One.

    A slip like that's a classic Turing Test failure. There's to be no Loebner Prize for the R-fahrt chatbot.

    Another who jumps into a thread to post attempted insults instead of discussing the topic.

    Of course your post could be about you and Richie since you guys can't figure it out.

    Perhaps rich coming from me, but settle down lads and keep it to the cycling please. The arguing is getting tiresome.

    Love and kisses,

    I was trying but it seems that certain people feel that, when they don't like your opinion, they can ignore the topic completely in order to try to insult you.

    To balance this out, if Brailsford says things like this, he needs to be open to answering questions, and not flouncing off when someone asks something he doesn't like

    Remember, Brailsford and his team puit themselves on the pedestal. Where there are inconsistencies, its not unreasonable to want him to defend his position
