Not really, it's a case of Sky being bought by Comcast and the cycling sponsorship being a very pro Murdoch project. It wouldn't surprise me if Brailsford has a key sponsor sorted already (HSBC springs to mind).
But apparently sports medicine has come so far in the last 10 years that a rider who "isnt" on drugs, can out perform a drugged to his eyeballs Lances Armstrong... Once people accept cycling and drugs go hand in hand, the quicker we can all move on.
