Roman Kreuziger has created a website to prove his innocence. The Czech is suspected of doping due to irregularities in the blood passport but now he has decided to publish his biological passport online. The website also contains documents about the doping case, including statements from independent experts.

 

"I have never tested positive for doping. Despite this for a year and a half now I have been living in uncertainly as to whether I will be able to continue to devote myself to my life’s passion and continue with my career," he writes.

 

"Since June 2013 I have been investigated by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) for an alleged violation of anti-doping regulations on the basis of supposed anomalies in my biological passport. However, I have never exceeded the basal values and did not even approach these values.

 

"I condemn doping and cheating in sport. I consider the biological passport to be an excellent tool. However, clear rules for its use must be set out otherwise it is useless and can be used to eliminate anyone. Rules cannot be changed during a game. And that is what is happening now. What purpose do the basal values serve if mere suppositions are used to determine guilt?

 

Kreuziger says that he wants a fair trial. The rider was suspended by the UCI but later he was acquitted by the Czech Olympic Committee. The UCI has appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS. The International Cycling Union asks for a suspension of two to four years plus a fine of € 770,000 plus court costs. 

 

It is not the first time that a rider puclishes his biological passport data online. Last year Chris Horner made a similar move after his victory in the Vuelta a Espana.
