Speaking at the start of a Belgian crit, Chris Froome has spoken of his belief that he faces a higher level of scrutiny than his rivals and he says all Grand Tour winners should face the same level of questioning.
“There’s nothing against me, I’ve done nothing wrong,” he told Sporza. “Of course, in this day and age, we do need to go a bit further to prove to other people, but how much further do we need to go? Is every rider releasing their data, is every rider being asked the same questions I’m being asked? I don’t think so. Until we get to that level playing field where every Grand Tour winner has the same level of questioning then it’s not correct that it should be just aimed at me.”
Froome was horrible treated during his Tour de France win, being spat on and he also had urine poured over him. Teammates Luke Rowe and Richie Porte also experienced similar treatment.
