We know he had more than the permitted level which in my eyes is an offence, but he is trying to explain it. Bit like Dennis Mitchell (I Think)and his explanation for raised Testosterone. I had 4 beers and it was my wife's birthday...you know the rest

Cycling is and has been for many years a totally dirty sport at the highest levels, almost as bad as running Froome was TWICE the legal levels. Sky now have form. It is pushing TUEs to the limit and beyond. Brailsford was interesting pointing at Froome and the doctors.
