Froome 鈥楽urprised鈥 By Wiggins Dope Talk
Print Edition
CHRIS Froome said he was “surprised” by doping revelations concerning Bradley Wiggins, saying he did not know if his British rival was operating in a “grey area.”
British cycling great Wiggins has been in the spotlight since leaked medical data showed the five-time Olympic champion had been granted a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) by cycling authorities for the powerful corticosteroid triamcinolone. He was permitted to take the drug just days before the 2012 Tour de France, which he won, as well as the 2011 Tour and the 2013 Giro d’Italia.
Froome, a former teammate of Wiggins, also had his TUE history published by the hackers, although in his case the details were already known. Asked about Wiggins, Froome told cyclingnews.com: “I was surprised, it was the first that I had heard of them. I had seen Bradley Wiggins using his inhalers so I knew he had asthma, but I wasn’t aware of his allergies.
“Without knowing the exact details of his medical condition, it’s impossible to say if he was operating in a grey area.”
Wiggins said he needed the drug to help control his asthma.
