Apparently won't be confirmed until later in the week. I'd link the Cycling Weekly article except it's a spam-fest.

For anyone with a smattering of French.

According the mirror froomes involved in some sort of doping saga. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Fingers crossed

The words "doping saga" still occur, and likely will when he's 90. Doubt I'll look at the other thread.

All very convenient however. Damn....

Don't confuse UCI with ASO. ASO has the prerogative to exclude riders if they wish to do so, for whatever reason they feel is appropriate. In the past I can recall Di Luca being "not welcome" at the Tour, despite being allowed to race under UCI regulations.

Is it being suggested that WADA, when faced with a challenge to their testing regime chose not to stand by it?

Read up on the WADA response. THey know this drug can produce high readings. That's why it wasnt a positive test - it was something to be looked at - which they have. Seems sensible. The WADA guy has offered to explain this to Bernard who is old and confused...
