Impey tests positive, excluded from Tour
Print Edition
ORICA-GREENEDGE rider Daryl Impey of South Africa has been omitted from the team’s Tour de France lineup after failing a doping test.
Australian-based Orica-GreenEDGE released a statement yesterday saying it was notified by the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport that the 29-year-old delivered a positive A and B sample to the banned masking agent Probenecid after the South African Championships on February 6. Impey became the first African rider to wear the Tour de France’s yellow jersey last year when he led the standings during stages six and seven. This year’s Tour starts in Leeds, England, on Saturday.
“Impey will not feature on the team’s roster until the case has been closed,” Orica-GreenEDGE said. Impey said in a statement he had no knowledge of Probenecid and had never knowingly taken the substance.
