  • This is all rather good:

    Meanwhile Van den Driessche’s father has, predictably, insisted upon her innocence.

    “It’s not Femke’s bike,” he claimed to De Staandard. “The bike was in the pit but it is [belonging to] someone from her entourage, who sometimes trains with her. But it was never the intention that it would be raced.

    “Femke has absolutely not used that bike during the race. We are strongly affected by the events. Femke is totally upside down about it.

    “We also do not know what ‘technical fraud’ means. But if the intention was to cheat, would you still ride that bike? Femke has been European and Belgian Champion. Why would you do in the world championships?”

    His words will likely be viewed with some scepticism, as her brother is currently serving a ban for EPO.
