Tour de France winner Riis knew his team was doping, probe finds (Reuters)

Former Tour de France winner and Team Saxo manager Bjarne Riis knew about doping in his team but failed to act, according to a damning report by the Danish Anti-Doping Authority and the country’s National Olympic Committee. Riis, 51, who won the Tour in 1996 and subsequently admitted having doped during his career, was sacked by Team Saxo-Tinkov in March following a dispute with new owner Oleg Tinkov. “Management, with Bjarne Riis in overall charge, has at a minimum had knowledge of doping within the team, but failed to intervene.
