Former pro racer Luke Rowe has argued that suspicion that at one point circled around Chris Froome's Tour de France successes was a knock-on effect from the Lance Armstrong doping scandals that immediately preceded the Briton's triumphs.
Armstrong confessed to repeated use of multiple PEDs in January 2013, something he had previously vehemently denied, and was subsequently stripped of all seven Tour de France titles he had won between 1999-2005.
