Cycling: Chris Froome was tested more than half a year ago with a conspicuous value. Nothing has happened since then. Bernard Hinault cannot understand the behavior of the drivers around Chris Froome. The Frenchman once again sharply criticized the world association UCI.
"Froome shouldn't be there"
Even as an active professional, Bernard Hinault was not only a man of action, but also of words. Now he demands the same from the current drivers in the peloton. The Frenchman has repeatedly been critical of Chris Froome. Above all, Hinault seems to be bothered that the Froome case has been going on for so long and that nobody in the driver's field is rebelling against the Brit. The 63-year-old even demands that the pros should get off their bikes if Froome takes part in the Tour de France in July.
Bernard Hinault:
"He shouldn't be there at the start. It's easy because he tested positive."
Hinault takes driver and association to duty
A few weeks ago, Bernard Hinault was critical of the subject. After the Giro d'Italia in May he felt that Froome should never have started in Italy. Since no decision is expected before the start of the Tour de France, his lack of understanding seems to have increased again. Understandable, because Chris Froome could draw level with him with another victory in the Tour of France. However, Hinault not only takes responsibility for the field of drivers, but also for the world association UCI.
Bernard Hinault:
“The field is too nice. Other athletes were convicted for the same offense and the whole world agreed. He says it's an abnormal sample. Maybe the drug isn't a big deal and didn't contribute to his victory at the Vuelta, but we don't know that. It is forbidden and the rules should be the same for everyone. As always, people don't make decisions when they should be made. The UCI leadership should have said: you got caught, so you can't race anymore."
What a weekend @chrisfroom! #twist101 #MondayMotivation
