One of the questions on his lips concerns the contents of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:mystery medical package couriered from the UK to France by💝 a British Cycling employee on the final stage of the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné.
That incident is currently being investigꦺated by𒆙 UK Anti Doping, and Team Sky have refused to shine any light on the matter until the investigation has concluded.
The silence, it appears, extends to the team's marquee ri🌌der and winner of three Tours de France – even if he has appealed for an🦋swers.
"I am completely in the dark on that," Froome said in an interview in Saturday's edition of .
"I have asked the question.🌸 Hopefuꦕlly we will find out at the end of the investigation."

Froome told Cyclingnews in October that it's 'impossible to s𒀰ay' if Wiggins was operating in a grey a🍷rea, and he doesn't feel that the clouds of doubt have𝔍 dissipated.
"Those are questions for Brad toꦍ answer about what happened back then,"🦄 he said. "In terms of who did what at the time, I still don't know all the answers myself.
"I can only deal with what I do know. From what I have seen for myself [atౠ Sky], it's been completely above board. It's been clean. I've laid all my cards on the tജable. Everything has been out there for a while in terms of my TUEs."
Wiggins currently 🦂find༒s himself in retirement limbo, and commented that he'd "given up caring" how people remember him when his wheels are finally hung up.
"Peo𒁃ple ask me, 'Do I think it's tarnished his image?'" added Froome. "I certainly think it's raised a few questions, that's for sure.
"A lot of people have said it's taken the shine off his performances b🏅ack in 2012."
Despite the questions 🅺he has over the incidents that have courted controve🐟rsy in recent months, Froome stands up for the team he's been with for the last seven years.
"We have worked really hard t🤡o try to show we are being as transparent as possible. I feel we have made a lot of headway this year, especially on the roads of the Tour. I felt a genuine change in mentality of the French fans, a much warmer reception than it has been in the past.
"I'm n𓆉ot expecting any difficulty going forward. Because nothing I've done is in question. I don't think peopꦡle are questioning me."
