Sadly professional cycling is rife with drug cheats, not saying Froome has or hasn’t taken PED’s but the thought is there. I watch Le Tour every year, and I marvel at how these guys cycle up mountains, it is just a pity that you cannot hand on heart say who is or is not cheating.
The milestone part of the question makes this more interesting. There have been some great British sporting stars but the milestone aspect makes it tricky.
Ben Stokes Makes History, Becomes 3rd Player Ever To Achieve Sensational Feat.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Thursday joined the company of West Indies great Garry Sobers and South Africa's legendary all-rounder Jacques Kallis to become the third player and first England player to secure a double of 6,000-plus runs and 200-plus wickets in Test cricket. Stokes accomplished this feat against West Indies in the first Test of the three-match series at Lord's. Dismissing batter Kirk McKenzie in his first over, Stokes got his 200th Test wicket. In 103 Tests, he has taken 200 wickets so far. Also with the bat, he has scored 6,320 runs at an average of 35.30, with 13 centuries and 31 fifties. His best score is 258.
Jimmy Anderson one of the most bypassed English sportsman. Perhaps if he would've been a bit more controversial (footballers) his records would be more recognised

The only British mountaineer to summit all 14 of the worlds 8,000 metre peaks.
Anderson is England's highest Test wicket-taker of all time with 704, having made his Test debut in 2003.
