Shari Bossuyt won the Grand Prix de Wallonie Dames, taking her first victory since completing a two-year suspension after a positive test for Letrozole and the first victory of her road reading career.
Bossuyt tested positive at the 2023 Tour de Normandie Féminin. She opted for a contamination defence and blamed dairy products made from French cow milk. Cyclocross rider Toon Aerts was also banned for two years after their positive test was confirmed.
“It was a really tough climb, but luckily I can now close a very tough and difficult period."
