Tour de France winner Chris Froome doesn't believe releasing performance data will convince people athletes are clean because doubters will never be satisfied with the results.
The 30-year-old's performance in France was met with scepticism by some, with a crushing win on stage 10 – a mountain climb to La Pierre Saint-Martin – drawing particular focus.
Team Sky consequently made Froome's data from that stage public in a bid to show he is riding clean.
He has also been undertaking independent physiological testing since then to determine what makes him such an exceptional competitor.
Athletics is the latest sport to come under scrutiny after allegations of widespread blood doping, with the International Association of Athletics Federations moving to defend its record on the issue.
Anti-doping agencies have advised athletes not to release their blood data to the public and three-time London Marathon winner Paula Radcliffe has backed that stance.
Froome agrees that releasing data will be enough for those who keep probing.
On Team Sky releasing his performance data after he won his second maillot jaune in three years, Froome told Sky Sports News HQ: "It was a good gesture on the team's behalf.
I think the people who are criticising us in that regard, no amount of data is ever going to fulfil their expectations.
"But I think the people who are criticising us in that regard, no amount of data is ever going to fulfil their expectations.
"Even going on to the physiological testing that I've been doing now, that's very much to find out more about myself personally and to make that information available.
"I don't think that information will ever be enough for the doubters. I don't believe there's any satisfying those people.
"There are going to be critics and I think we have to accept that and just crack on with what we're meant to do, which is ride bike races and win bike races."
