News about Chris Froome

Protestors are set to target the upcoming Tour de France and Giro d'Italia races, with tensions likely inflamed by Michelle Froome's tirade against Gazans and Hamas on social media.   In one particularly incendiary post on Monday, Froome said that Muslims are a 'drain on modern society'. The wife and agent of four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome claimed that she was 'sick of sitting idly by quietly supporting Israel while the Hamas propaganda takes over social media'.

Michelle Froome launched into a tirade against Gazans and Hamas on Monday and in one particularly incendiary post on social media, said that Muslims are a 'drain on modern society'. The wife and agent of four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome claimed that she was 'sick of sitting idly by quietly supporting Israel while the Hamas propaganda takes over social media'. She also wrote on X, formerly Twitter , that 'there are no innocent Gazans' after pro-Palestinian activist called for increased protests against her husband's team, Israel-Premier Tech.

Imagine a world where Lionel Messi could keep the goal like Gordon Banks. Where Chris Froome could win titles both on a mountain bike and a motorized one on the Isle of Man, or where Lewis Hamilton sandwiched Formula One races between hoovering up world rally championships. What price would you pay for such glorious all-round talent?How about $700million?Todd Boehly's resume in Chelsea's transfer market leaves a lot to be desired, but with his latest capture, he might be right on the money.

MIKE KEEGAN: He has won a World Cup final (in which he scored), won four Serie A titles, and pulled Manchester United's pants down not once but twice. Paul Pogba, it's safe to say, is a man who has grown used to winning. No wonder then that, faced with perhaps the threat of what could be a career-long doping ban, he has turned to the man with the highest market reputation. When approached by Mail Sport, Mike Morgan, as he always does, refused to comment. However, the Frenchman's reaction is now being formulated by the London-based specialist who has worked with Tyson Fury, Conor Benn, and Chris Froome after he was positive for testosterone-boosting DHEA, and the Frenchman's world stopped turning.

For July's Tour de France, four-time champion Chris Froome was left out of his team Israel-Premier Tech's squad. The 38-year-old has suffered with injury problems, recovering from a tendon injury in April, but he was fit enough to take on the Basque Country's legendary race. Mechanical problems, notably a number of forced bike conversions at the CIC-Mont Ventoux earlier this month, have also hampered him.

According to a recent analysis of professional triathletes, men who are taller and with longer limbs such as Erling Haaland (right) are faster when the temperatures are higher. In comparison, shorter, stockier men (such as Lionel Messi, left) did better when it was cooler.

XclusIVE RIATH Al-SAMARRAI: An investigation into Conor Benn's two failed drug tests has been delayed due to evidence of a lack of coordination from the boxer's team. As revealed by Sportsmail, both the WBC rankings body and a separate investigation led by UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control are investigating Benn's case. Although Benn's side submitted a 270-page dossier to the WBC inquiry last month, which appears to be limited to determining if the fighter will return to No. 5 in their welterweight rankings, Sportsmail has reported that no collaboration has been forthcoming for the more thorough UKAD and Board of Control investigation, which will determine if he faces a doping ban in this region.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos threw their hat into the competition to bid for Manchester United on Tuesday evening, sparking a general feeling of excitement among Red Devils supporters. Ratcliffe is expected to face rivalry from the United States, Asia, and the Middle East after the Glazer family announced their willingness to leave United after 17 years in office at Old Trafford, but he is the first bidder to expressly declare his interest in the club. Given that the 70-year-old is worth an estimated £13.3 billion and is regarded as Britain's richest man and a fan of the club, the positive reaction from United fans was understandable.

EXCLUSIVE: Conor Benn is reported to have retained Mike Morgan, one of the world's top sports lawyers, in an effort to clear his name for the flawed drug test that resulted in the cancellation of his match with Chris Eubank Jr. When approached by the Mail on Sunday, Morgan was either unable to confirm or deny that he had been contacted. In the aftermath of news that he tested positive through the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association for Clomifene on September 1, Benn has claimed he is clean, but he is yet to give an explanation why the female fertility hormone appears in his system.
