Nairo Quintana has released a statement addressing the French police investigation into him and his team, Arkéa-Samsic, stating that he has nothing to hide and noting that no doping substances were found in raids carried out on the team's hotel during the Tour de France.

On Monday, the day after the Tour finished, it was announced that the Central Office for Combating Environmental and Public Health Damage (OCLAESP) had raided the squad's hotel rooms after stage 17 to the Col de la Loze, finding "100ml of saline and injection equipment". Later in the day, news emerged that two team staff members – a soigneur and doctor – had been taken into preliminary custody.
