Saturday 2nd of August, Tinkoff-Saxo was informed by Roman Kreuziger about the UCI Anti-doping Commission’s decision to provisionally suspend him, based on their assumption that his future race results are "likely to be affected by the asserted anti-doping rule violations".

Consequently, Roman Kreuziger will not take part in Tour de Pologne, which begins Sunday, as he will remain suspended from all racing until a verdict has been reached in his case.

Tinkoff-Saxo criticizes the timing of this decision – as the rider and team was notified less than 24 hours before the start of WorldTour race Tour de Pologne. The team says that this materially impairs its participation in this important race and that Kreuziger' receives his provisional suspension without solid evidence of any wrong doing but only based on the opinion of medical experts of the UCI Anti-doping Commission.
