I worship Team Sky. But I feel like I’ve been taken for a ride

How to feel when, for reasons that are purely negative, the sport you love and the riders you admire appear on every front page and dominate every radio news bulletin? The answer: weary, conflicted and confused.

The latest report from the digital, culture, media and sport select committee into Team Sky and Bradley Wiggins’s alleged use of therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) and corticosteroids as performance enhancers ahead of the 2012 Tour de France, among other high-profile races, is another headline cycling does not need. The report suggests Sky has crossed an “ethical line” rather than clearly violated any doping rules – but it’s not a good look for a team that sold itself as a paragon of virtue. Sky and Wiggins continue to protest their innocence as the vultures gather.
