Froome calls cycling 'one of the cleanest' sports post strict testing norms

Tour de France champion Chris Froome has said that stringent drug testing meant cycling was now probably the cleanest sport, and the testing is very strict.

According to sport24, Froome said that each rider had a blood passport where readings were taken almost on a monthly basis and people still did not realise the amount of testing that they actually go through, adding that cycling must be one of the cleanest sports, if not the cleanest.

The report said that the Team Sky rider had to endure the inevitable questions about doping from the media during the three-week race, and it added a different aspect to his race according to him.

Kenyan born Froome said that he completely understood the questions after revelations from Lance Armstrong's era and was happy to answer them, showing people that the sport had changed.
