Garmin cycling team boss denies doping ban report
Jonathan Vaughters said today that a Dutch media report about six-month bans is “completely untrue.”
A DIRECTOR OF Garmin-Sharp has denied that any of the cycling team’s riders have been banned for six months by the US Anti-Doping Agency as part of its doping probe into seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
Jonathan Vaughters said today that a Dutch media report about six-month bans is “completely untrue.”
