LONDON: Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome says he has not broken any rules after returning an ‘adverse’ drugs test result during his victory at this year’s Vuelta a Espana. “I understand this comes as a big shock to people,” Froome said in an interview with the BBC published on Wednesday. “I certainly haven’t broken any rules here.”World governing body the UCI has asked Team Sky rider Froome, 32, to provide more information, but has not suspended him. Froome said he simply upped his dosage on the advice of the team doctor after his asthma symptoms got worse. “I have been a professional cyclist now, treating my symptoms and racing with asthma, for 10 years,” said Froome.
