REIGNING Tour de France champion Chris Froome’s protest at a lack of drug testing at the Tenerife training camp he attended is to be investigated by the International Cycling Union (UCI).
The British rider, who is preparing for this year’s race, said: “Three major TDF contenders staying on Mount Teide and no out of competition tests for the past two weeks.
“I am one of those three and I think it’s in all our best interests to be able to prove we are clean no matter where we train.”
The 29-year-old Team Sky rider has since made it clear the other riders he was referring to were Spain’s Alberto Contador and Italian Vincenzo Nibali, adding: “If we’re not getting tested that doesn’t look good on any of us.”
Contador was stripped of his 2010 Tour de France victory after testing positive for clenbuterol.
