Contador dismisses motorised doping

Alberto Contador believes that cycling’s technological leap forward is one of the biggest changes he has seen since he turned professional 15 years ago. However, the retired rider said he does not believe that motorised doping within the pro peloton forms part of that leap.

“I can’t believe that [motors] existed in professional races,” he told Spanish newspaper AS. “I’m not saying that with the amateurs, for example, that type of cheating occurs. But in the Tour de France? It has not crossed my mind.”
