London - Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome expressed his delight at being cleared by the sport's governing body over having twice the permissible amount of asthma drug Salbutamol in his system.
The 33-year-old Kenyan-born rider 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," he said in a statement issued by Team Sky.
"While this decision is obviously a big deal for me and the Team, it's also an important moment for cycling."
