Cycling, Positive Case of Cera in Juraj Sagan's Team

Rome, 7 November 2024 - Il cycling and doping, a duo that between gossip, poison and news, always has a hard time separating itself: from the suspicions that after a season like that arrive copiously on Tadej pogacar, which promptly sends them back to the sender, to the current news which sees a case of positivity at Wax in the team of Yuraj Sagan, the brother of the much more famous Peter.

The class of '88 manages a category team Shelf, Pierre Baguette Cycling Team, in which the former champion was also seen. Today he plays there instead Daniel Vysocan, found positive for Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator (continuous activator of the erythropoietin receptor at renal level), as well as the WaxThe incriminating check was carried out on September 25th, two days before the World that the 20-year-old Czech, promptly suspended from theUCI, was unable to complete. The same Pierre Baguette Cycling Team, with a clear and peremptory statement, has 'discharged' Vysocan, which as is typical in these cases is practically left to its own devices while waiting for the proceedings to reach a definitive decision. "The November 4 il Pierre Baguette Cycling Team was informed by theUCI of the possible violation by Vysocan of the anti-doping rules for the presence of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta. The runner last raced with the team between 5 el 'September 8th, while his participation inl World di Zurich was completely managed by his National, without any involvement on our part". With these words the team of Sagan senior distances itself from what its rider has done (or not done), whose fate is clear for now. "We apply zero tolerance for doping with the aim of safeguarding the integrity of cycling, a sport we deeply respect. We refuse the use of any prohibited substance or actions that could compromise our values, which every member of the team is called to respect. For this reason Vysocan is suspended pending counter-analysis, and if these were to confirm the presence of the Wax his contract would be terminated immediately."

The growth of Nys

From the road, albeit with a less than memorable page, to cyclocross, which last weekend crowned Thibau Nys European champion: according to the former icon of the discipline Niels Albert, intercepted by the microphones of The Latest News, the Belgian could enter with a bang in the eternal head to head between Mathieu van der Poel e Wout van aert. "I was impressed by how he managed the race and it's not the first time that it's happened. His progress is clear for all to see and the next step would be to be able to compete with the mud champions and maybe beat them in the sprint sooner or later, even if I don't think we're at that level yet. When Van der Poel e Van Aert I'm at the start of the cyclocross races, a duopoly is created that I think NYS sooner or later it may break".
