Froome is worse. I thought Brad Weller was a dickhead; Froome I really don’t like

I plain just don’t like him. There’s something deeply unpleasant about him

Wiggins never failed a test, but appears to have pushed the boundaries to get help

Froome has failed a test/exceeded a limit (by some margin) and is trying to explain why that isnt a bad thing and it should be just ignored

Neither situation is great, but as things stand only one risks having a result annulled.

I suspect in time all Sky’s ‘wins’ will be viewed with enough suspicion / specticism that we’ll have another lost half decade or so in the TdF winners’ list. With every problem there’s a need for winners to be squeakier than squeaky clean and these guys don’t appear to be any better than what came before; they’ve let fans down - kids and grown-ups who believed what they were told

Just not liking him isn't evidence against him.

As far as I can see, failing a test for standard asthma medication assuming it is an error (which is very likely) is not as bad as constantly playing the system as is alleged in the Wiggins case.

I want to like Froome, but for me the saga of his relapsing bilharzia has always hung like a cloud. If a patient came and told me that story, I'd file them under, "Off your rocker."

Excuse ignorance, but what is relapsed bijlharzia?
