Chris Froome yesterday increased the pressure on beleaguered Team Sky and Bradley Wiggins by saying, in an apparent reference to the furore over Wiggins's three therapeutic use exemptions for powerful allergy jabs prior to key races, that he wanted to see cycling's rulers and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) address the possible "abuse" of TUEs.

Wiggins has denied doing anything wrong in taking three injections for the drug triamcinolone to treat asthma and hay fever prior to the 2011 and 2012 Tours, and the 2013 Giro d'Italia, arguing that it "levelled the playing field".
