Sportsmans bet. Fiver says that other than an erroneous Salbutamol finding-once- theres nowt else on the lad.
Not that I'm a massive fan of Froome by the way. But what a rider.
Good call Dan - truth is that none of us, you, me or
@leighton have any idea whatsoever at the moment. My instinct is same as yours; I certainly wouldnt put him in the category of Armstrong. This asthma business is an irrelevance to my mind - it was on one stage of one tour, yet on all his other days in all the other grand tours in the last 5 years there hasnt been a peep that we are aware of. What sky have been 'guilty' of, and Shane Sutton admitted as much, is bending the rules to the absolute maximum, and that includes using the most advantageous TUEs to benefit performance that are allowable/ ie are not on the banned list - and tbh, why wouldnt you??!
The bigger issue for me, and I've read a lot on doping in cycling and the Lance era, from David Walsh, Paul Kimmage, and the rest, is how to explain his dramatic improvement in performance from a peleton pro to suddenly being a top performers and potential GT winner? That is always the question, whatever the sport. Having said that, it is a question you could ask of the vast majority of the other top riders if you look at there progression, and also of most track and field stars. (That was what made Bolt so special, he was a world leader as a teenager too).
