Froome Continues Giro Warm-up At Tour Of The Alps Despite Doping Probe

Milan, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Apr, 2018 ) :Chris Froome continues his preparations for the Giro d'Italia at next week's Tour of the Alps despite his case remaining under consideration by cycling's anti-doping unit.

The British four-time Tour de France champion returned an adverse analytical finding for the asthma drug salbutamol at the Vuelta a Espana in September -- a race he won in a historic Tour-Vuelta double.

The 32-year-old Sky rider insists he has "done nothing wrong" and has continued competing and preparing for the three-week Giro which will get underway in Jerusalem on May 4. Froome, a Kenyan-born Briton, has this season already finished 10th in the Ruta del Sol and 34th in the Tirreno-Adriatico, will use the Tour of the Alps as his last warm-up for the Giro.
