Froome, a piracy that does not pass … – Sports.fr

Personal data drive and power of Chris Froome were stolen and possibly trafficked, according to Dave Brailsford, manager of Team Sky. This anticipates the inevitable doubts and criticisms.

We would struggle to Chris Froome … His personal data, collected by Team Sky, were hacked and stolen! “If he does something good Tuesday on the first stage of the Pyrenees, the whole Tour will wonder if it is not doped, that’s part of the game said Dave Brailsford, the head of the British team. It was thought and we still discuss again the pace of rise, physiology, power data … was what to it, but we think someone hacked our training data and has obtained the Froome file. “

Sizeable accusations, even if it does not designate someone or a particular team. “We have lawyers on the spot” says Brailsford for Telegraph . Unauthorized visibly photographers were seen Sunday evening in the parking lot of the bus, without knowing if there is a direct relation with this case … there two years ago, Sky had delivered the data to the physician for the FDJ he draws his own conclusions. “ His performance data the past two years are consistent with the profile that he has” , he said then The Team .

“The exceptional power it is able to develop maximum effort during five minutes gives it some reserve compared to other runners” , also explained the report. Froome tired of these discussions. But they are therefore likely to resurface, even if the anticipation of Brailsford may be likely to temper the enthusiasm of potential accusers … “Those who interpret performance data and say, ‘He mounted Ventoux in 10 minutes, so it is doped , these are clowns “, also said the yellow jersey before the Tour 2015, the Telegraph .

If the UCI wants to collect data and explain if possible, I would be very happy

“It does not portray the complete picture. If the UCI wants to collect performance data and explain if humanly possible or not to do so without doping, I would be very happy. But deliver it to hand to people and say, ‘on this stretch of 15 minutes, it was too fast … You do not have wind speed, temperature, all these variables. “ Brailsford, without saying so officially, is concerned that the data are trafficked. Everyone always goes further in espionage strategies (and against-espionage) but also communication, and it probably is not going to stop.
