Former British Cycling coach accuses Sir Dave Brailsford of "lies, bullying and harassment"

Of course, I wasn't there and don't know what happened but one thing I have learned over fifty years of gainful employment is that I've never met a purposeful, effective leader who wasn't considered by some to be a bully.  Often, it seemed to me, the folk who held that opinion were the weak links in the organisation.

Obviously trying to get compensation - like Varnish.

Don't the Brit's just love schadenfreude.   The more someone achieves the more they love to bring them down.

No pain no gain.  They were not going to achieve the results they have by hosting all inclusive kumbaya communes.  Just saying.

I'd guess if you look at any successful cut and thrust business and you'll find people that claim to have been harassed, hell even my meagre, easy-as-fuck civil service job, people cry and moan about harassement because their boss caught them fiddling the clock and then they have the balls to go the union and HR and say they're being harassed. 

The results do speak for themselves though and if the cost of all this cycling success is a few people in the background sulking then so be it. 

As for any drugs? Not sure we're talking blatant drug use, they seem too clever for that. There's a line and Team Sky know exactly what defines it. 

The "drugs" are not the issue; it is all the other stuff re sexism; bullying and general mistreatment of people that will bring them down. BC's handling of these issues has been inept at best.

Lol, considering your regular spouts I'll not take your latest one to seriously.
So if he's relating general gossip and hearsay from others that will really stand up won't it. You who constantly spout law and how the police make mistakes should really know that.
Yes you do get opinions, like mine of you is someone who likes the sound of his own voice and can't string a sentence together without using foul language but it doesn't mean they are right and after all its opinion not fact.
When someone comes back with facts rather than opinions gossip and hearsay then I might actually give a toss.

It's falling...

The smoke around Sutton and Brailsford at this point is getting ridiculous. There's been explanations for missing homework in school classrooms more believable than the yarn being spun around this "package". When the former chief cheerleader for Sky and co-architect of Lance's downfall, David Walsh of the Sunday Times, is publically accusing Sutton and Brailsford of a coverup, you have to stop and wonder.

Was this reported in the DM? From all the previous comments by readers on this site I had understood that DB's reputation as an honest professional was scurrilously being sullied by poor journalism. This is evidently further proof of this. Must be.... 

So he only worked with DB for a few years but can give a statement covering 18yrs ?

Sounds like a load of shite.

Gloves - off.
