Laurent Jalabert, local well known cyclist living in Montauban, has just been proved positive for drug taking back in 1998 in the Tour de France. Modern methods of detecting drugs have meant the samples stored going back many years can now be tested. It still seems a long time to store a sample and not expect degradation or changes but what do I know about it, other than all sports need to be clean .
Further to this story Laurent is pulling out of his duties and engagements with this years Tour to spend time getting evidence to defend his case.
