Even though the pending anti-doping inquiry regarding seasons when he rode for Astana forced him out of the Tour de France, Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff-Saxo) insists to be unruffled by the situation and full of optimism waits for the development in his case.

Kreuziger, who finished fifth in last year’s Tour de France general classification, was expected to be Alberto Contador’s most reliable lieutenant in Tinkoff-Saxo campaign to strip Chris Froome (Team Sky) off mailot jaune.

While the Czech rider was quickly replaced by slightly discontented Rafał Majka in Tinkoff-Saxo Tour de France squad, Kreuziger waits for a quick development in his anti-doping inquiry regarding to the 2011 and 2012 seasons, when he rode for Astana.

Roman Kreuziger (Saxo-Tinkoff) said Tuesday that he believes in justice after a pending anti-doping inquiry due to biological passport abnormalities stopped him from taking part in the 2014 Tour de France.

“If there is some justice, I believe there will be a happy end,” the 28-year-old Saxo-Tinkoff rider said on his website. “On the one hand I’m relieved to see things published and handled. On the other I have no idea how long the matter might take.” 

“I have got used to hearing good news one day and bad news the next. When I hear good news, I stand fast, and when there’s bad news, I don’t feel down really,” he said.

“I haven’t condemned cycling, I’ve been watching the Tour and I’m in daily contact with the guys who are riding. We wrote each other yesterday,” Kreuziger added.
