Froome to undergo testing
It is understood that Froome plans to allow independent doctors to examine him between the Tour's finish and the year's third grand tour, the Vuelta a Espana, which begins on August 22, to determine what makes him such an exceptional athlete.
Froome said: "What haven't I done? I've tried to be as much as a spokesman as I can for clean cycling.
"I've spoken to the CIRC [Cycling Independent Reform Commission], I've made suggestions to the governing body to implement things like night-time testing. I've pointed out when I've felt there hasn't been enough testing, in places like Tenerife. What else is a clean rider supposed to do?
"It doesn't make me angry. It would be a different story if I had something to hide. I know I'm a clean rider. I know I've worked extremely hard to be in this position. I'm really proud of that.
