Asociația Cicliștilor Profesioniști critică testele antidoping nocturne din Turul Franței

The Professional Cyclists Association (CPA) has called for changes in doping control methods after several cyclists, including Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard, were tested at night. CPA expressed disappointment with current anti-doping practices, emphasizing the need for effective testing that respects athletes' rights and health. They argue that nighttime testing disrupts recovery and performance, and suggest investing in advanced detection technologies instead of intrusive tests. CPA's president, Adam Hansen, highlighted the financial burden on cyclists for additional testing and criticized the current athlete location system. The controversy arose after Pogačar and Vingegaard were tested early in the morning, with both expressing concerns about the impact on their rest and performance.
