The organisers of La Vuelta have said they are taking a position, "of extreme caution," after Chris Froome returned adverse findings in a drugs test.

The organisers said in an official statement on their Facebook page:
"Regarding today’s news about Christopher Froome’s unfavourable test result during La Vuelta 2017, Unipublic, the organiser of La Vuelta, wishes to communicate that it will await the UCI’s official conclusions.
"The regulatory entity has launched an investigation and the position of La Vuelta’s organiser is one of extreme caution, as it hopes for this issue to be resolved as quickly as possible."
Froom released a message on Twitter saying he was unable to share any further information:
