No, he deserves an objective judgement, based on facts, not suspicions.
I haven't seen anything from his performance that suggests he was doping. For the doubters here, it seems to be that anyone who wins is "obviously a doper", because you can't win without assistance. Yeah that makes sense.
I'm not a Sky fan (anything but, I hate the way Sky - as a company - have created a monopoly for sports broadcasting on TV which means we have to pay large amounts to watch sports we should get for less and so have no fondness for any team sponsored by them) and Froome is not particularly charismatic. However I admire the dignity he has when being bombarded with questions from those soured by the US postal debacle, and how he has answered them.
Both he and Brailsford were very clear last night on the matter.
I'm looking forward to he and Quintano battling in the mountains next year.
