'Somebody knocked on my door at 2am' – Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard subjected to middle-of-the-night anti-doping tests at Tour de France

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) received overnight anti-doping tests.

The first- and second-placed riders in the Tour de France were both woken for anti-doping tests on Saturday night. Race leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was woken at 5 a.m., while Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) was tested three hours earlier.

The UCI has engaged the International Testing Agency (ITA) to conduct its anti-doping activities, and it seems the testers were out in force after stage 14 to Le Markstein, which was won by Pogačar.
