Former star cyclist calls for a ban for Froome. Meanwhile not one current rider to the best of my knowledge has spoken out against Froome. Nibali came closest to any sort of rebuttal before he backtracked again. Long live omerta.
That has nothing to do with omerta.
Unless you imply that Nibali was a witness and knows exactly what Froome did, but denies any knowledge.
That would be omerta.
Being cautious during the interviews, not attacking Froome, is just being sensible, especially after the arguments they had in the past.
He has nothing to gain in lashing out against the Briton. But I do understand that media are crying to get Nibali say anything that could light a fire.
