Suspicion of doping: comments from the Quintana team

Last Wednesday, the hotel rooms in Méribel were checked by athletes from the French team Arkéa-Samsic as part of the Tour de France. This was confirmed by the team director, Emmanuel Hubert, on Tuesday morning. The action affected “a very small number of drivers” and their immediate environment, Hubert said. He did not mention the names of the actors on Captain Nairo Quintana’s team. French media had previously reported that two people were detained by the police because numerous drugs and related doping tests had been discovered. The Marseille prosecutor’s office is conducting preliminary investigations to see if there is anything to the accusations.
