Geraint Thomas has come out swinging in the wake of a report detailing that doping is still rife in the professional world of cycling , branding the findings as ‘ insulting ’ . The Team Sky rider was reacting to claims made in the Cycling Independent Reform Commission report , which was published on Monday . In it one ‘ respected cycling professional ’ is said to believe that 90 per cent of the peloton are still benefiting from performance-enhancing drugs . Geraint Thomas has taken aim at CIRC 's report into doping in elite cycling , branding the findings as insulting . The report alleges that the UCI acted favourably to Armstrong to protect the sport and that doping still takes place in the sport . However , unlike in Armstrong 's days , its says riders now have a choice to dope or not . That , according to Thomas , is rubbish . ‘ I think it ’ s a hell of a lot cleaner , ’ he told the BBC . ‘ I didn ’ t race back then , but some of the stories you hear… it ’ s certainly not like that now . ‘ Whole teams were doing it back then . ‘ It ’ s insulting when people say it [ cycling ] is really filthy and saying I ’ m doing something wrong . I dedicate everything to this . ‘ You look at older riders – they are the most cynical about it all because they don ’ t know any other way . ‘ Look at Brad [ Wiggins ] and [ Chris ] Froome . I ’ d put all the money I have on them being clean. ’ Thomas said he 'd bet that former Tour de France champion Chris Froome is a clean rider .
13-month independent investigation into doping in cycling concluded . The report was released on Friday and it found that Russian athletes were systematically doped. Report said doping in cycling has improved but is still going on . Athletes now have to evade the athlete biological passport system .
