The rooms of <strong>Nairo Quintana<\/strong> and other riders including <strong>Dayer Quintana<\/strong> and <strong>Winner Anacona<\/strong>. Reports suggest that the raids were carried out by the <strong>Central Office for the Fight against Threats to Environmental and Public Health<\/strong> (OCLAESP) and was not done in collaboration with the <strong>French anti-doping agency<\/strong> (AFLD).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emmanuel Hubert<\/strong>, who is the team manager of Arkea-Samsic confirmed that the authorities had raided the hotel rooms but declined to provide any further information on the matter.<\/p>\n<h2>Arkea-Samsic Members Could Face 5 Years In Prison<\/h2>\n<p>French authorities confirmed that they found multiple health products and medicines along with a method that could very well be labelled as doping. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uci.org\">Union Cycliste Internationale<\/a> (UCI) which is the sport\u2019s governing body said it welcomed the investigation by the authorities. <\/p>\n<p>The penalties for convicted doping in sport in France are very strict. If convicted, individuals could face fines up to 75,000 euros and a prison term of up to 5 years. The last time an individual was charged and convicted of doping during the Tour de France was back in 2012 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/18\/sports\/cycling\/frank-schleck-fails-doping-test-at-tour-de-france.html\">Frank Schleck failed a drug test<\/a..\n\nTeam Arkea-Samsic has yet to release an official statement on the doping allegations. The team had a poor showing at the Tour de France as the 30 year old Nairo Quintana took 17th place and Warren Barguil took 14th place. This was the lowest finish that Nairo Quintana has had in a Grand Tour since 2012. \n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young Tadej Pogacar made headlines when he won the Tour de France and in doing so became the second youngest winner of the gruelling 3,482.2 km race.
