The latest rider to fall victim to doping charges is Remy
Di Gregorio from Team Cofidis. Di
Gregorio was arrested Monday night at his hotel by the French police agency (OCLAESP)
responsible for doping investigations.
Two other people suspected of supplying Di Gregorio with banned
substances were also arrested.
Team Cofidis “provisionally suspended” Di Gregorio,
pending the outcome of an investigation. Di Gregorio will be fired if convicted
of wrongdoing.
The 26 year-old Di Gregorio turned pro in 2005. He is a native of Marseille and considered
one of France’s most promising riders.
He was in 35th place at the Tour de France after stage 9.
Team Cofidis had doping problems in 2004 when two of
their riders were arrested for doping.
In 2008, Cofidis withdrew from the Tour de France when one of their
riders tested positive for testosterone.
I wonder how long the
money-lending company, Cofidis, will continue to associate with a team that has
a history of unethical or criminal behavior
