During today's 14th stage of the Tour De France, current yellow jersey wearer Chris Froome was apparently doused in urine by an angry fan person who punctuated his attack by simultaneously screaming "Doper!" Froome's anger about the attack wasn't only reserved for the crazy person, but also extended to the cycling media whose (according to Froome) irresponsible "tone" led the man to question whether he was/is clean or not. In a sport that will (probably) never allow the leader to escape doubt again, Froome is just the latest cyclist to arouse the suspicions of a skeptical, piss-wielding public. Said Froome on the overall reaction to his current spot as the event's leader:
Also he refused to let the pee terrorists win by adding "I'm not going to give up the race because a few guys are shouting insults."
