Honestly, you think someone at the UCI would have called the ASO and said "Don't do anything stupid for 48 hours, we have an update coming".

Delighted - UCI press release below:

http://www.uci.ch/pressreleases/uci-statement-anti-doping-proceedings-involving-christopher-froome/

"After the evidentiary phase, Mr Froome requested additional information from WADA about the salbutamol regime. Following receipt of information from WADA, Mr Froome then filed his explanation for the abnormal result on 4 June 2018, together with significant additional expert evidence.The UCI has considered all the relevant evidence in detail (in consultation with its own experts and experts from WADA). On 28 June 2018, WADA informed the UCI that it would accept, based on the specific facts of the case, that Mr Froome’s sample results do not constitute an AAF. In light of WADA’s unparalleled access to information and authorship of the salbutamol regime, the UCI has decided, based on WADA’s position, to close the proceedings against Mr Froome."

they probably did

Yeah, no worries. We'll say he's banned anyway then retract it. It's all news, innit!

Or possibly:

Hi ASO, UCI here. We're dropping the case, here's the detail.

.

"Oh ta.  Actually, could you hold it for a day or two?  Give us time to ban him and get a whole load of people frothing on both sides, then same again when you announce yours and we let him back in again.

Yeah Berni - keep your stupid, “I don’t like this, in my day we would strike”, ill informed, partisan comments to yourself!

Chris  should send him some flowers, an inhaler and a copy of the rules, telling him that next time he wants to chime in, he should bury his face in the former, suck on the middle and read the latter. Goyt.

A bloke at work just said,

"doesn't matter if he's got the jersey or not, he's still going to be wearing yellow for 3 weeks" 🙂

Funniest thing I've seen since Theresa May said "Hang on, lads; I've got a great idea."
