France tour disrupted by stimulant tests
Nighttime doping tests during the 2026 Tour de France have heightened controversy. Tests were conducted on race stars Tadej Pogačar and Johannes Vingegaard between July 18 and 19, following a request from the International Testing Agency (ITA). These tests woke the cyclists in the middle of the night before crucial stages, leading to criticism over their impact on the riders' sleep, with some describing the practice as inhumane. Meanwhile, the ITA insisted that these measures are essential to ensure the integrity of the race and combat doping. French judges approved the implementation of these tests as part of the efforts by the International Cycling Union, despite opposition from competing cyclists who criticized the lack of respect and the poor treatment.
