It's pointless to debate whether the first reports are accurate or if Froome is engaging in "deception". Either he'll show up in racing form this spring or he won't. I don't want to see him win the TdF, but I'm rooting for him to return to some kind of respectable racing form. We're talking about this guy's health and we should all be on the same side for that.
