Hinault calls riders鈥 strike if Froome races in Tour
Print Edition
Five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault has called for riders to strike if defending champion Chris Froome, who is under investigation over an adverse doping test, takes part in this year鈥檚 race.
Froome tested positive for excessive levels of the asthma drug Salbutamol following a urine sample at last year鈥檚 Vuelta a Espana. The 33-year-old has denied any wrongdoing and is confident that he will be cleared after the investigation by the sport鈥檚 governing body Union Cycliste Internationale. 鈥淐hristopher Froome should not be at the start of the Tour,鈥 Hinault was quoted as saying by British media. 鈥淭he peloton should put its feet to the ground and say, if he is starting the race, we won鈥檛 start. Quite simply because he has tested positive, for me this is not an abnormal test.鈥 Hinault has said that Froome should not have been allowed to compete at the Giro d鈥橧talia. Froome, who has won the Tour de France four times, became the first Briton to win the Giro in May.
