UCI doping control officials have tested a total of 99 blood samples during the World Championships in Madrid, 40 of which were taken on Saturday, at the evening before the Elite men road race. The countries concerned by the testing were Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Germany, but all results were negative.
Nevertheless, four riders were declared unfit to start at the other races of the World Champs. Two Bulgarians and two young Slovenians were taken out of the competitions this week.
