SAD NEWS: Tadej Pogačar Breaks Silence on Doping Scandal: “In a Few Generations, They’ll Forget Armstrong and the Rest
Tadej Pogacar has won Strade Bianche, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and World Championships among other races this year to have what is likely the most successful season a professional rider has ever had. Doping questions, obviously, arise in a sport that has in the past been marked from it. The Slovenian has talked about this topic ahead of Il Lombardia.
“There are always people who are jealous and suspicious and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Pogacar said in a pre-race press conference. “Cycling is a sport where in the past, people were doing everything they could to their bodies, to be better, unknowing what it does to your health, and they were risking their life”. Whilst in the team hotel the expectations were mostly regarding his words about tomorrow’s monument, where he can his fourth consecutive edition, the topic of doping and sports dominance took over.
