LONDON (Reuters) - Three times Tour de France winner Chris Froome spoke out in support of his embattled Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford on Monday while apologising to fans who felt let down by mistakes over anti-doping and testing practices. "It disappoints me hugely to see the way in which Team Sky has been portrayed by the media recently. Team Sky and British Cycling have both been subject to an investigation by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) into allegations of wrongdoing in the sport. Several Team Sky riders have expressed support for Brailsford, who launched the team in 2010 and has led it to four Tour triumphs, although Froome had kept his silence on the matter until Monday. "With respect to Dave Brailsford, he has created one of the best sports teams in the world.
