I can't find that thread and if it has 100 pages you know I don't have the time or the will to read it all and maybe to find nothing. Thanks in advance for a link. Being a TDF winner I'm sure somewhere on the internet there is a link with that proof.
A summary of that thread could look something like this:
- Froome suffered from Bilharzia and was treated for it.
- When this occurred is a bit of a mystery since Froome's story has an ever-changing timeline.
- One timeline offered by Froome is that his diagnosis and recovery coincided with his baffling improvements in 2011.
- Froome has stated that he has required multiple treatments (praziquantel) because the disease "came back".
- The above is a lie (
http://www.path.cam.ac.uk/~schisto/) as the disease does not work this way. He would have to be re-infected back in the dodgy lakes of Kenya each time.
- Froome's own description of the disease indicates that he suffered a mild infection (i.e., no kidney damage, etc, etc) rather than a serious and chronic case which could have affected his performance in the way he describes (i.e., Froome talking about the disease eating away at his blood cells). Again,
http://www.path.cam.ac.uk/~schisto/ will clarify this.
At very best, Froome is very confused and does not even remotely understand the basics of the disease that undermined his pro career. Most likely is that he is lying in multiple ways. Why he would do that is open to speculation, but the way he ties it to his transformation is a nifty piece of evidence.
