Fair enough maybe @mdcc_tester can shed some light?

Seems like Froome is in quite a spot of bother. The Sky statement looked like damage limitation to me. Not sure how much good will the sponsor has left!?

Is Froome in a spot of bother? He has a right to due process, which has been breached in the instance as someone at the UCI leaked the Adverse Analytical Finding news to Le Monde and the Guardian before Froome has had his chance to respond. As is his right under the UCI rules.

For all we know, this could’ve happened to other athletes in the past who’ve subsequently cleared their names without the press getting hold of it.

Given Froome’s behaviour over the past 3 months, I get the feeling he expects to be exonerated. Time will tell.

Ulissi case was also leaked by the look of it. Of course there might be others that aren't but we have no way to tell.

Given the seeming similarity between the two and that Ulissi couldn't replicate the finding I'd say yes Froome is in a spot of bother.
