130 runners abandon race in Spain due to anti-doping control. Only 52 of 182 registered runners crossed the finish line in Villena.
Organizers of Ciclo 21 claim they defend clean and fair cycling. The race was won by the Ukrainian Oleg Chuzdha (professional from 2006 to 2012), but the strangest thing happened far from him. The presence of agents from Celad, the Spanish commission to combat doping in sport, pushed many runners to tear off their bibs.
