Who is Sky team and is Brad Wiggons a champ or a chump?

The philosophy of Sky is solid when it comes to seeking out new talent, as is all Pro-teams who want to have a winning year. The article from 'Cycling News' confirms the method behind their recruiting: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/team-sky-reveals-recruiting-management-methods . They UCI awarded them a 4 year contract to race and they have the bucks and desire to win and if you read other articles they seem to be on the right track but are they?
Some have reported that with Sky's wealth, derived from the Murdoch media billions, that they can out muscle any other team financial and legally (James Murdoch is the chairman of Sky’s parent company, News Corporation, and a son of News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch.). “The way the deal went through is very disrespectful, and Brad clearly went after the money, which is sad,” David Millar, a British rider, said. “Sky is a corporate behemoth that is investing a massive amount in cycling, and they had to go and poach Brad from us. I know Brad better than anyone on the team. He’ll quickly forget that this time last year, that Jonathan believed in him 10 times more than anyone.” version of this article appeared in print on December 11, 2009, on page B13 of the New YorkTimes
 Bicycling Magazines was told The three primary forces that freed Wiggins to make his desired move were his revelatory fourth place in the Tour de France (which made him far more desirable); sheer persistence by Sky and Wiggins in pursuing a transfer; and a legal theory based on contract law in European football. Ultimately, said Garmin-Transitions CEO Jonathan Vaughters, it simply wasn’t worth the effort necessary to keep Wiggins in the Garmin fold. “It’s been a long protracted process with a lot of lawyers that hasn’t been very much fun whatsoever,” said Vaughters by phone from New York...http://bicycling.com/blogs/boulderreport/2009/12/10/garmin-reacts-to-wiggins-departure/

 With that establishment of Sky as a bully and able to buy or litigate the team into a good roster then what's to stop them from buying or litigating past a doping scandal? Or how about the actual negotiation of a winning Tour De France and pressuring the outcome of any race the way they want it? Examining this line of thinking leads me to think if this kind of foul play and minor corruption exists in such an evident fashion then how about things that are hidden below the surface of reported news?
Now for the other side of this same coin, how about good ole Wiggo defecting on a contract in order to cash-in on the teet of Sky.  Has he done anymore or less than anyone else who worked hard in this sport? Has he really been so great a star and under supported by Garmin-Slipstream  that working with them would be a detriment for his carrer? Would honoring his contract to ride for Garmin-Slipstream be more faverable for him later when he is in his twilight? Mr Wiggions everyone loves a winner when he wins but ignore you when you have a bad season or two...especialy when you are not an honorable man!
So lets have a look at the big payoff:  Wiggins is rumoured to have accepted an offer from Team Sky well in excess of €1 million (about £905,000), effectively tripling his estimated salary with Garmin.  Times online Dec 10th 2009. You have made it buco, you have made the big paycheck. So what will your teammates think when they have to support you and you fall short? How about the X-teammates, will they wish you well or will they do the same thing Dave Z did to George H at the 2009 TDF everytime they can, HUM? I'm just saying.
 Maybe Greg Lamond is right about the rampant, unreported corruption in the Pro-cycling circut. In his article called, "cycling's 12th centry econonic model" , by Josh Kadis, he points out otherwise yet unrelated corruption that is plauging and even drawing down the sport. A good read Nov-Dec issue Road Magazine.
Bottom line for me is, yes I love the sport; yes I will watch the TDF and other tours that are broadcast but I am dissapointed in the unsprotsman like conduct of big teams and greedy players from every sport and now it's affected my sport as well. I don't have a thing against wealth but at who's expense you make it is a problem and right now I think the real losers are the fans. Again, I'm just saying...
If I pass you on the road stop ta Peets, because your buying.
