Defiant Froome to ride Tour
Print Edition
Defending champion Chris Froome will ride the Tour de France even if the owners of cycling鈥檚 biggest race want to prevent the four-time winner from appearing in this year鈥檚 event due to an ongoing doping investigation, his wife said. The Team Sky rider, who last week said he had every right to defend his title from July 7, tested positive for excessive levels of the asthma drug Salbutamol at last September鈥檚 Vuelta a Espana. But he is confident of being cleared of doping after an investigation. Citing sources close to the matter yesterday, French daily Le Monde said Amaury Sport Organization, which owns the event, was trying to prevent Froome from starting the race. 鈥淐hris will ride the Tour,鈥 Froome鈥檚 wife and representative Michelle Froome said yesterday. The newspaper said ASO had sent a letter to Team Sky asking it not to include Froome in its team line-up to protect the Tour鈥檚 image.
