cycling: Next round in the Cancellara case?! – UCI wants to investigate motor doping allegations

10 November 2017 by Florian Nowak

Cycling: The UCI wants to re-examine the motor doping allegations against Fabian Cancellara from 2010. At that time, the Swiss had dominated the spring classics. The reason for this is renewed allegations by former pro Phillip Gaimon in his book "Draft Animals: Living the Pro Cycling Dream".

Incoming President David Lappartient wants to address the coverage of Gaimon's recently published autobiography through the investigation. In his book, the American, who retired at the end of 2016 after a season with the WorldTour team Cannondale-Drapac, writes about Cancellara and makes clear allegations of motor doping. The Swiss did not comment on the incident and is considering the possibility of a lawsuit against Gaimon with his manager and his lawyers.
