Chris Froome is a Kenyan born British professional cyclist and the winner of the 2013 ‘Tour de France’. He raced as a teenager and left college early to become a professional cyclist at the age of 22, supporting his team mates in a background role as domestique. Despite his early successes and unique physiology he was seen as a somewhat inconsistent performer until it was revealed that he had been battling the parasitic disease schistosomiasis throughout most of his early career. With his condition treated and more under control, he rapidly rose to take the lead in three stage races in a single year, including the prestigious ‘Tour de France’. Because his ‘Tour de France’ win came the year after the Lance Armstrong doping scandal received media attention, he fell under rigorous scrutiny for illegal doping but his tests and medical records proved he was clean. Currently Froome has a contract with the British racing squad ‘Team Sky’, and continues to set records with his powerful performances. He is also an Olympic medalist for his performance in time trials, and is currently the defending champion in multiple world recognized races including the ‘Tour de Oman’ and the ‘Tour de Romandie’.
