Tour de France

Post by pharvey »

I sincerely hope the accusations regarding doping are not true, but there's simply no excuse for throwing a cup of pi** at anyone!! :cuss: By all accounts, the French media have been pushing this story and pursuing Froome in the extreme - something of a jealousy complex with Froome taking a huge lead perhaps? Can't help but imagine it's a "Surrender Monkey" that's done the dirty deed...... either way, :tosser:

Tour de France: Chris Froome Says Urine Was Thrown at Him

"Britain's Tour de France leader Chris Froome says he had urine thrown at him during stage 14 of the race following accusations that he is doping.
Froome, who extended his overall lead to three minutes 10 seconds, said the attack happened early in the stage.
"Unfortunately, someone threw a cup of urine into my face and shouted 'doper', which is extremely wrong on so many different levels," he said.
The 30-year-old has always insisted he is a clean rider.
Froome's claim comes a day after fellow Team Sky rider Richie Porte said he was punched during stage 10 of this year's race.
Team Sky also believe their computers have been hacked by critics convinced that Froome is using performance-enhancing drugs."
