At first, the police did not want to say that it was some kind of investigation.
Now the EU agencies Eurojust, the European Union’s Office for Criminal Justice Cooperation, and Europol, the EU’s law enforcement agency, confirm that this is suspected doping in cycling.
“Bahrain Victorious hotel was searched by Danish police on behalf of French prosecutors during the morning (Thursday) at 05.30,” Bahrain Victorious wrote on its website.
Eurojust reports on its website that the raid was carried out and supported in consultation with them and Europol.
Bahrain Victorius was also investigated in connection with last year’s Tour de France, due to a suspected doping offense. At that time, the police efforts had no further consequences, according to Ritzau.
Cycling has been shaken by doping scandals before. In 2012, Lance Armstrong admitted that he systematically doped himself during all his seven overall victories in the Tour de France from 1999 to 2005. All victories were taken away from him.
