Ineos Sends David Rozman Home Following ITA Doping Inquiry

Ineos is seeking the ITA’s full investigative files to clarify the grounds for Rozman’s questioning

Overview

  • David Rozman returned home from the Tour de France after receiving a summons from the International Testing Agency for questioning over alleged past doping contacts.
  • The ITA declined to confirm a formal investigation but acknowledged that investigative measures are under way on behalf of the UCI.
  • Media reports including the ARD documentary "Im Windschatten" allege Rozman had ties to doping-linked circles in 2012 and 2013 when the squad raced as Sky.
  • Ineos commissioned an external law firm review following an informal ITA contact in April and insists it has not been presented with any formal evidence.
  • Rider Thymen Arensman won the race’s 19th stage and said the team’s internal and regulatory inquiries have not affected performance.
