Photograph: Scott Mitchell/teamsky.com via Getty ImagesSir Dave Brailsford has defended the decision not to suspend Chris Froome as he spoke for the first time about the four-times Tour de France winner’s failed drugs test. But Brailsford was adamant that no anti-doping rule violation had been committed by Froome, who could face a ban and being stripped of his Vuelta title. Froome will race at the Ruta del Sol in Spain next week, competing for the first time since news of the failed test was made public. The longer it is, for us and Chris himself, the more difficult it is.
