According to Corriere della Sera, Team Sky\u2019s star is currently ready to accept full responsibility on his controversial salbutamol case. Apparently, Chris Froome is really hoping to only receive a six to maximum nine month ban so that the four-time Tour de France champion can still be able to get back in time for the\u00a0Giro<\/a> and Tour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Currently speaking, the champion is located in South Africa trying to achieve his best shape yet through intense training routines despite his adverse analytical finding <\/a>for the banned asthma drug at last year\u2019s Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If Chris Froome accepts the responsibility and admits that he did took twice the allowed amount of the asthma drug, he might get away with a short ban of only six to nine months. This only if the suspension\u2019s\u00a0starting\u00a0date is calculated to be September 7 , 2017. This is the day he took the test. At that time, Froome was participating at the Vuelta a Espana where he ended up taking the trophy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Corriere della Sera’s report also claims that Froome has already hired a high-profile mediator who is currently doing all he can to discuss a suitable deal for his client with the UCI.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, Froome denied everything on his social media profile earlier this morning. He stated: “I have seen the report in Corriere della Sera this morning – it\u2019s completely untrue.”<\/p>\n I have seen the report in Corriere della Serra this morning – it\u2019s completely untrue.<\/p>\n \u2014 Chris Froome (@chrisfroome) January 30, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/h2>\n
