as you are much closer to the action than i am (and anyone can field this question as far as i am concerned), can you explain what civil penalties are involved if a rider is popped in the tdf for doping? take moreni who [censored] hot and the surete then find a testosterone cream in his room along with his other equipment. is he subject to monetary fines only, jail time as though they were narco-trafficers, or some combination of both? and how have other host countries (italy, germany, spain, e.g.) taken action on this issue?

As far as I know, Slov - under French criminal law any rider found guilty of doping can be subject to a fine and/or prison sentence.
I am not sure what latitude a judge has in sentencing a rider found guilty.
Is there a proscribed method of sentencing ie.are there pre-defined rates of fines and jail terms?
Perhaps Poulidor might be able to offer more insight.I don't know what the situation is in Germany or Spain with regard to doping and whether it is treated as a criminal offence.
Sorry. -

Ben Berden is taking it up the ass in Belgium. He ironically fessed up to the EPO when he failed a test a couple of years ago, but is still being forced to pay over 60,000 euros for the case. I assume these expenses (paying experts, the cost of tests, private investigations) were to prepare for the case. I think he could have served jail time too, but didn't get this as a penalty. -

Sorry.Spain seems to have a lax attitude towards this stuff. Which would explain the American exodus from Nice to Girona.

Well that has changed with the new anti-doping law this year. They could all move to the Netherlands...😄The Belgian national championships in bodybuilding are also held in the Netherlands😄

Or Italy, or Switzerland, or Belgium, or Austria, or Norway, or Monte Carlo.
Nothing has changed. Doping is still essential to build all cycling heroes.

thanks to all for providing a perspective unavailable in the u.s.a. seems that the all the video of tdf arrests & searchs are a well choreographed dog and pony show.
