SCHENK JOINS ARMSTRONG ROW

Tagged in &

The on-going row over allegations about Tour de France sensation Lance Armstrong has taken a new twist after cycling’s governing body the UCI came under fire from the ex-president of the German Cycling Federation (BDR).

Sylvia Schenk hit out at the UCI for seemingly being more concerned over the leaks of recent stories rather than the issues it raises.
The German said: “The UCI and its president Hein Verbruggen are more interested in finding the leak than clearing up the Armstrong doping case. Since 1998 the UCI has done a lot to combat doping but everything is different where Armstrong is concerned.”
The claims centred around alleged positive drug tests returned by the seven-times race champion, with Schenk directing the criticism at UCI president Hein Verbruggen.
