Cycling: UCI opens investigation on Schleck

PARIS: Frank Schleck’s victory at last month’s Criterium International was in jeopardy after the International Cycling Union (UCI) said it was probing the use of a drinks pack on his chest during the final time trial. Luxembourg’s Schleck, the older brother of Tour de France runner-up Andy, wore a ‘camelback’ on his chest in Corsica and the sport’s governing body is wondering whether it might have helped his aerodynamics and be illegal. “We are investigating this, we want to get to the bottom of it,” said UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani.
