German rider Michel Hessmann will not have his contract extended by Visma-Lease a Bike at the end of the current season after he serves a seven-month suspension for doping offences, the team confirmed on Wednesday evening.
After several months, Hessmann’s case has now been resolved after the World Anti Doping Agency [WADA] appealed the four-month suspension he was initially handed by German anti doping authorities [NADA].
