          (FILES) In this file photo taken on July 13, 2017, Great Britain's Christopher Froome, wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, rides towards the finish line at the end of the 214,5 km twelfth stage of the 104th edition of the Tour de France cycling race between Pau and Peyragudes. Chris Froome was cleared on July 2, 2018 of wrongdoing in his 'anti-doping' case which had cast a shadow over his participation in the Tour de France. "The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) confirms that the anti-doping proceedings involving Mr Christopher Froome have now been closed," cycling's ruling body announced. Team Sky's four-time Tour de France champion has been under a cloud since he was found to have twice the permissible amount of asthma drug Salbutamol in his system during September's Vuelta a Espana, which he won. / AFP / Lionel BONAVENTURE
