Tour De France organisers slam governing body

The organisers of the Tour de France have criticised cycling’s world governing body over doping controls, describing the UCI as “incompetent”.

Patrice Clerc, president of Tour organisers ASO, and Christian Prudhomme, the director of the Tour de France, held a press conference at the start of the penultimate stage of this year’s event in Cognac where they pledged to lead the battle to rid the sport of drugs.
