Briton wants to simult­aneous­ly hold all three titles from cyclin­g’s Grand ToursJERUSALEM: Chris Froome heads into the Giro d’Italia insisting he is focusing on his attempt to make history by holding all three titles from cycling’s Grand Tours at the same time. Froome tested positive in September last year for elevated levels of the asthma medication salbutamol, resulting in an adverse analytical finding. Should he be found guilty of a doping offence, Froome would likely lose his victory in the Tour of Spain and any subsequent results such as a Giro d’Italia success. Froome has admitted the whole doping investigation has been “hugely frustrating” because it “is now being played out in the public domain”. But that wasn’t the case with Froome as a joint investigation by newspapers in Britain and France exposed the news in December.
