Cycling: Froome says,”I haven’t broken any rules.”

After his positive doping test, cycling star Christopher Froome confirmed his innocence in an interview with the BBC:”I understand that this is a big shock for everyone. I certainly didn’t break any rules,”said the 32-year-old. This was “not a positive test” and therefore no damage to the image was caused, Froome continued.

Four-time Tour winner Froome had been tested in a doping test during his Vuelta triumph in September. The World Cycling Federation UCI officially announced this only on Wednesday.

According to this study, Team Sky found an inadmissibly high concentration of the asthma drug salbutamol in the 32-year-old Briton’s urine sample during the tour of Spain. The B-sample confirmed the result of the A-sample.

On Wednesday, the UCI refrained from suspending the team in accordance with its rules and wants to obtain further information from the team and the driver.

“I’ve been a cycling professional for ten years, I treat my symptoms and have been riding with asthma for ten years,”said Froome,”I know the rules and know where the limits are. I have never exceeded these limits,”says Froome, who has provided UCI with all the necessary information. How the inadmissible high value could have come about, Froome said
