Froome was also planning to do the Giro I believe, it could well drag on. And also plans were being made for the world championships in case it hadn't been resolved by then!

makes a mockery of cycling IMO now. I get that they have lots of stuff to go through. However, there was a limit that was breached. There should be a set timescale that Froome has to appeal or set out his defence and after that if no resolution then a suspension. Either that or don't have the limit.

This just shouldn't be public. Whatever you might think of Froome and DB, if this was anyone else it would be handled as per process in private at this stage.

I disagree, it should be public and also resolved by now.

The rules as written though say it shouldn't be public.

For all we know, many other riders in the peloton may have gone through this same cycle as Froome and had good trustworthy evidence to show why the high urine levels were not a consequence of exceeding 16 puffs in 24 hours.

I'm all for changing the rules on how these cases are handled, but the bottom line is that as they are at the moment Froome is being singled out mainly because some in the press and elsewhere have axes to grind.
