The revelations in La Gazzetta dello Sport about the Padova investigation and the controversial decision of the UCI to give Astana a WorldTour license, has provoked many reactions in the peloton. Marcel Kittel made his position clear in a series of tweets.
"I hope that the recent changes to the UCI and the new trust in Brian Cookson pay off after all the bad doping news of the last days," he writes.
"I also hope that they will show strength with a decision that protects clean riders & underlines our call for a credible antidoping fight.
"There can't be any tolerance for a doping system especially like the one from the Padova investigation. It also shows how important an Anti-Doping law in every country is."
