Last time I checked there is a complex urine test for Aicar, approved since 2013.
So no problem for Froome 2011+2012.
Moreover, the only lab doing the tests is Cologne.
To my knowledge (correct me if wrong) UCI under Cookson have systematically ignored the Cologne lab sending their samples to Malabry and Lausanne instead.
So no problem for Froome 2013-present either.
Funny thing is, Ive never seen one tenth of the kind of research and doping knowledge and awereness, that sniper put into this 1 post, in any of the posts, speeches, articles, press conferences in defense of Sky.
They all just repeat clichés like "you don't know hes doping", "tests catch riders", "trains harder".
But isn't it funny that every single person who like sniper has researched doping, knows a little about how the tests work, where the are sent, knows a little bit about doping history, believes that the top of cycling (and all sport), is still rife with doping. Very few of the people in this group, are amongst those that follow the wishful logic that Bolt/ Radcliffe/ Froome, were ubermensch who through hard work and all round morality beat all the bad guys.
For those who choose to remain ignorant about doping, but remain adamant that Froome is clean cos he rides for their favourite country, that should be a bit disheartening (if you care about the truth at least)
