Prove I’m doping, Chris Froome challenges accusers
Yellow jersey holder says his dominance is all natural
Tour de France leader Chris Froome has challenged his detractors to prove he has been doping before making unsubstantiated accusations against him.
The 30-year-old has had to put up with a barrage of questions about doping since a stunning victory on the Tour’s 10th stage on Tuesday, when he decimated his rivals to open up an almost three-minute lead over the rest of the field.
With several other mountain stages still to come, some people believe Froome could end up winning this year’s race by a landslide.
It means he’s had to fend off questions about his legitimacy while someone allegedly hacked his Sky team’s computers and stole some training data which was then published on the internet.
“Those people should come and see us train, see how hard we work and see how I live my life,” said a defiant Froome following Wednesday’s 11th stage, in which he maintained his lead.
