(The Daily Mail) Chris Froome has turned to the one of the world’s leading anti-doping lawyers in a bid to avoid a potential 12-month ban for a failed drugs test.
In what amounts to another major doping controversy for Team Sky, Froome and his employers confirmed in a statement early on Wednesday that an adverse analytical finding had been found during the Vuelta a Espana in September.
Froome was found to have double the permitted levels of the asthma drug, salbutamol, in a test taken after the 18th stage of the Spanish grand Tour on September 7. The 32-year-old four-time Tour de France champion went on to complete a historic double by winning the Vuelta.
