“They even check my cell phone”: Rad-Star unpacks

Less than 40 hours after the nighttime doping raid on his team Bahrain-Victorious, the Slovenian champion celebrated in Libourne his second solo stage win at the Tour de France and wanted to rebuke all critics with his cheers. “I am disappointed with the system. It's not nice when the police are in your room and rummage through your things. They even look at private things and read the news on their cell phones,” said the day’s winner after the 207 kilometers from Mourenx to Libourne on Friday. On Thursday night, the Marseille public prosecutor's office in Pau searched the hotel rooms of the Arab cycling team until 2 a.m. on suspicion of doping. “I felt like a criminal” Matej Mohoric on the nighttime doping raid Nothing was found that would have confirmed the suspicion, which is why the team was allowed to continue. At Bahrain-Victorious people felt they were being treated unfairly and were victims of their own success. “I felt like a criminal,” complained the winner. The images from the Pyrenees went through his head again in the last 1000 meters, when his victory was already certain. “They didn’t find anything with us. We have nothing to hide.” Despite all the turbulence, the winner was beaming, the Slovenian festival with him and Tadej Pogacar (yellow jersey and three day victories) continues happily. On the other hand, it is “a good thing that people are paying attention and checking that no one can cheat,” said Mohoric about the raid.
