Thanks. I thought was a low penalty for him.

The original report has been corrected to 8 years now too I see.

I've have thought he would be banned for longer than 8 months.

8 years seems fair.

8 months was either a now corrected mistake on SII or a mistake on your side

British Cycling chief executive talking about the case of Chris Froome. Basically, the problem (in her opinion) is that it's become public knowledge, while apparently she thinks Sky should have months and months to try out and test every possible explanation until they come up with the perfect excuse, and all that behind the scenes in secret. 

 

Just a disgusting read, really. She even has the courage to talk about what's bad for the sport, without realizing she and her federation are exactly what is so wrong with the sport.
