Former professional Laurent Roux has said that under no circumstances was Laurent Jalabert involved in initiating his younger brother Fabien into the use of the 'pot Belge' drug cocktail.
Speaking on French TV yesterday evening, Laurent Roux, who has been giving evidence in the "Cahors affair" trial, said that Fabien Roux had taken pot Belge at a party in 2001, but that Jalabert was not present, nor did he supply the drugs.
According to Laurent Roux, the story had been exaggerated by the French press for sensationalistic effect.
