Brailsford satisfied with Froome explanation for missed drugs tests
Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford insists he's satisfied with Chris Froome's explanation for twice missing a drugs test.
Brailsford said: "Team Sky wants to take a leadership position in trying to demonstrate that this is a clean sport and it can be done clean, and that's our situation. It always will be.
"With regards to Chris, he missed his first test in 2010 and one more recently, but I was satisfied. He phoned me straight away. He was at a hotel, the receptionist wouldn't allow the tester to go to his room - 'You can't disturb our customers', they wouldn't phone up et cetera, et cetera.
"He didn't know they were there. He came down for breakfast and was told by the hotel staff obviously that they had been there to try to test him.
"I don't think there is any cause for concern there. We actually helped him with an appeal."
