This is a really poorly researched and executed video by yourself. You have pedalled conspiracy theories from a couple people on twitter instead of researching the science behind any of the bullshit you claimed to be suspicious. For example endurance athletes take significantly longer to reach there prime than other sports and so the common age for an endurance athlete to enter their prime is mid to late 20s which is when froome started to improve. Further he grew up in Africa where billharzia is not uncommon, on top of that post exercise enduced asthma is extremely common in endurance athletes due to the strain on the lungs. Salbutomol is the normal asthma medication and does not give performance enhancing benefits to people without asthma as it only opens the airways to the normal level so is not used as a performance enhancing drug. The idea that froome faked the crash is really stupid, considering the time trial was occurring later in the day there obviously is going to be paramedics on the course considering that high speed crashes can inflict serious injuries, then given that it was a warmup run for the time trial why would you expect someone to have videod the crash when the stage hadn't even begun so that isn't suspicious. Whats more he crashed into a wall at 60 kph, he so it was a hard sudden impact that caused the damage hence the injuries are to be expected, since it was a collision with a wall you would not expect road rash since that would imply they slid on the road and would probably not receive the same severity of injuries, so no significant road rash is consistent with hitting a wall hard hence not suspicious for a fake crash. All you did in this video is state poorly constructed conspiracy theories which either means that you are intellectually limited and so have no ability to consider even basic logical floors in twitter conspiracy theories, or you don't care and have a personal opinion of dislike which you'd like to convey against the use of factual information, again this would also imply you were intellectually limited. Have some shame and don't be so sloppy with your videos in the future.

For a lot of us there is no fall and will be no fall. A genuine rider and lovely guy who won the best grand tour of the century by a fantastic solo ride. True legend

Very simplistic interpretation - nobody recovers completely from a midshaft femur fracture; this is a life changing injury that impairs function for life - Froome has done incredibly well to return to professional cycling; there are pro cyclists who continue into their early 40s but they are never going to complete at the highest levels; Froome is a total legend who continues in pro cycling but age, injury, bicycle and team are against him - he is no longer on his Dogma which gave him the edge, he no longer has team sky behind him.

The accident he had was bizarre, It was on a reconnaissance of a stage of the Dauphine. One elbow, ribs and a broken leg, 37mph impact into a wall.

What is missing here is the huge salary he was making despite being in very poor form. He almost certainly doesn't need the money but it might keep him turning the pedals a while longer.

The theory that Froome faked his crash is completly ridiculous. WADA would not cover up a positive doping test as a crash.

Teams do ofc abuse TUE's, and continues to do, which is problematic. But there are no evidence of systematic doping from Froome.
