PARIS:
Four-time world time trial champion Fabian Cancellara is considering leaving the RadioShack team after discovering team manager Johan Bruyneel’s level of involvement in the US Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA) file on American cyclist Lance Armstrong. “Johan’s name is cited 129 times in the report,” said Cancellara. “I don’t know if I can still work with Johan,” said Cancellara. We’ll see what happens next.” Bruyneel was Armstrong’s team manager in all of his seven victorious rides on the Tour de France and is described in the USADA report as a key element in an organised doping ring.
