Oh give over, it's nothing to do with his nationality. It's fine to be sceptical, like it's fine to have an opinion, but not all opinions are equally valid: some are just stupid, ill informed and dogmatic. It's the same with speculation. If people think he is doping they should at least have some idea how and whether or not the rest of the team is also doping. Is he doing it alone or do Brailsford and Kerrison know?
The soi-disant sceptics on Cyclingnews comments just end up sounding like the most desperate conspiracy theorists - Sky have some new wonder drug, Sky faked their performance on Sunday to deflect suspicion. Yes, people actually believe that because they have no other credible evidence for their 'scepticism'. With Armstrong everyone knew about EPO and blood transfusions and the effects they could have. Is that what people think Froome is doing? And if so, why is working for him but not for others?
Why is the conclusion that Froome may be one of the most talented riders there has ever been less believable than the doping explanation?
The credulity of Armstrong fans, who would stick to their belief no matter what the evidence, is now the 'scepticism' of Froome's doubters.
