‘Action needed on TUEs urgently’

Tour de France champion Chris Froome has responded to the drug-taking controversy surrounding Bradley Wiggins by claiming sport’s anti-doping rules are open to abuse.

Froome took to Twitter to vent about the issues with doping controls after two officially approved Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) earlier in his career were revealed by hackers earlier this month. Froome won his third Tour de France title in four years in July. —
