LONDON—Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome was cleared by cycling’s world governing body on Monday, July 2, of any wrongdoing after he tested positive for excessive levels of the asthma drug Salbutamol.

Froome, 33, had tested positive for excessive levels of Salbutamol following a urine sample at last September’s Vuelta a Espana.
