Froome’s season debut

Britain’s Chris Froome will make his 2018 season debut at next week’s Ruta del Sol, Team Sky said yesterday. The 32-year-old four-time Tour de France winner is under investigation after returning an adverse drugs test at last year’s Tour of Spain which he won. He was found to have double the allowed amount of the legal drug Salbutamol in his system in a test after stage 18 of the Vuelta in September. Team Sky and Froome, who has denied any wrongdoing, are presenting their case to the International Cycling Union. “I’m confident that we will be able to get to the bottom of what has happened and I’m working hard with the team to do that,” Froome said in a statement. The Ruta del Sol starting on February 14 will be Froome’s first competitive appearance since his third-place finish in the time trial at the world championships in Norway last September.
