given the money that Froome and Sky will throw at lawyers and others to try to shake this one off. He's already hired the lawyer who represented Bruyneel and Contador.

Also, the authorities might still be trying to pin him for a blood bag - which seems the most likely explanation for having such high salbutamol mid race when you know you'll be tested. Same as when Contador had his clenbuterol case; you take these things in the off season to help cutting weight - not mid-race.
