British rider Chris Froome was cleared of doping allegations on Monday and authorised to compete in the Tour de France after organisers lifted a ban on the four-times winner. Kenyan-born Froome, 33, said he is now looking forward to attempting to win a fifth Tour de France which gets underway on Saturday.
"I am very pleased that the UCI has exonerated me", Froome said after the Union Cycliste Internationale, the sport's ruling body, said a probe into Froome had been dropped. The UCI announced the decision a day after Tour de France organisers barred him from taking part in the 2018 edition of world cycling's biggest race over doping suspicions.
