So, Leblanc is angry at Kelme on the Pascual Llorente case.
He is displeased about them not withdrawing their rider from the Tour as they got informed over the non-negative test. Teams should be doing this according to a gentleman's agreement the Tour uses since some years.
Can anyone explain how this immediate withdrawal idea matches the suspense of "there is a positive case but for legal reasons we have to wait some weeks before we make this fully public" ?
Are teams then required to lie to everybody about the reason of withdrawing a rider? ( "ehhh... stomach problems"😉 ?
