They know the art of concealing is as important as the training. That is not saying what is done is not legal, but they are very secluded and private.
Sky has does not have a single "jerk" that "ruined peoples lives" that is use to justify punishment for things having nothing to do with cycling.
Following up on multiple doping accusations isn't exactly "breathing down their necks". More like, just doing their job. There was a lot of smoke with US Postal before anyone decided to actually check and see if there was a fire. The punishment they got was certainly deserved.
Given the amount of publicity Sky has received over suspicious, but IMO, less concrete accusations, I'm not sure they would receive the same level of protection that US Postal clearly did over the years.
