Danilo Hondo of Team Lamonta will not be allowed to ride the Dreiländertour, formerly the Hessen Tour, race organizers announced at a press conference Monday. Tour manager Christian Bergemann said, "He won't get a start number from me, even if he's on Lamonta's starting list."
Hondo was banned on doping charge, but a Swiss court cleared him to ride again, at least temporarily. "He is a convicted doper. I have responsibilities to my sponsors and co-workers. That's why I'm taking the hard line, even when it hurts me personally," according to Bergemann.
