True about Froome, but I'd give him a little bit more leeway, not because he's 'British' (i.e. African) or because of Team Sky, but more to do with his age and the teams he has ridden on.
He didn't get to the big races with Konica, and when he did he was riding for Barloworld in 08 who in the Tour went to pieces after two riders were caught on EPO and others retired injured. Only four Barloworld riders even finished, one of whom was Froome at a creditable 84th.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, for now...
