Daryl Impey has been cleared for any wrongdoing after he tested positive for Probenecid at the South African National Championships. The South African has been reinstated in the Orica-GreenEDGE roster and will return to racing as soon as possible.
Just days before the start of the Tour de France, news broke that both Daryl Impey's A and B samples had come back positive for Probenecid in tests taken at the South African National Championships in February. The South African was put on inactive status by his Orica-GreenEDGE team but vowed to prove his innocence.
ORICA-GreenEDGE has received confirmation that Daryl Impey is fully eligible to ride after being cleared of all allegations.
“We are extremely happy with the fact that Daryl has been 100% cleared to race and we all look forward to having him back riding for us. Daryl is a key rider for the team and we very pleased with how he has handled his case and the process around it. We will reinstate Daryl in our racing roster as soon as possible,” general manager Shayne Bannan said.
“I’m thrilled to have been given the notification that I’m 100% OK to race again and no sanction whatsoever will be applied. I was confident in my defense and I’m thankful that I was given the chance clear my name beyond any type of doubt. It’s been a tough period to get through, but I’d like to thank my team for giving me the possibility to focus solely on getting this process done properly. All I can think of now is that I get to join my team and race my bike again as soon as possible,” Daryl Impey said.
