Cyclists told to sign anti-doping text

GENEVA: The International Cycling Union is threatening riders with fines in an effort to stop doping.

The UCI asked all 600 Pro Tour cyclists to sign an anti-doping charter saying they are not involved in doping and promise to submit DNA samples to Spanish authorities for the Operation Puerto probe. Riders have until July 7 — the start of the Tour de France — to sign the document.

“The line has definitely been drawn in the sand. We’ll have no more rampant doping,” UCI president Pat McQuaid said on Tuesday. — AP
