Bennett returns to racing in Belgium

George Bennett of LottoNL-Jumbo will take to the start of the Baloise Belgian Tour prologue Wednesday afternoon. The New Zealander was withdrawn from the Giro d’Italia squad at the last minute due to a reduced cortisol value.

LottoNL-Jumbo belongs to the Movement for Credible Cycling, which prohibits riders with a low cortisol value from racing for eight days.

The low values were caused by his asthma medication, according to an investigation by the team’s medical staff and outside specialists. The “slightly reduced cortisol value” posed no health risk to Bennett, the team said, and thus he is allowed to race again.
