Increased doping controls at Stuttgart Six Day

By Susan Westemeyer

The Stuttgart Six Day race has joined the anti-doping fight, announcing that it will conduct more tests at the races to be held January 17 to 22.

"In the first night everyone will go to the doping controls. That will surely surprise one or another of the riders," race organizer Roman Hermann said at a press conference Tuesday, according to dpa. "That is a comprehensive control, like we have never before had in Stuttgart. There will be more than three times as many tests as before."
