Using testimony from former riders and members of team management, Anti-Doping Denmark’s report into doping in Danish cycling between 1998 and 2015 includes some new revelations on doping on the CSC team and also adds further detail to some of the information already made public by Jorg Jaksche, Tyler Hamilton and Michael Rasmussen.
The 97-page document confirms the doping culture that existed on the CSC team and directly implicates that former CSC manager Bjarne Riis, former directeur sportif Johnny Weltz and former managing director Alex Pedersen in violating anti-doping rules.
The most damning evidence amassed falls outside the eight-year statute of limitations, however, meaning that Riis – manager of Tinkoff-Saxo up until April of this year – and Weltz – still a directeur sportif at Cannondale-Garmin – will not face sanction from Anti-Doping Denmark.
