The president of cycling's governing body has said that it is a good thing that doping questions are being asked about performances at Tour de France, as he said more should be invested in anti-doping research.
In an interview with French newspaper La Telegramme, David Lappartient, the president of the UCI, said that he is in charge of a "robust anti-doping program". There have been no doping positives at this year's race, but climbing speeds are faster than ever.
