"Team High Road provides 'transparently drug-free' answer”
February 16, 2008
Team High Road, entered in Tour of California, suggests a 'biological passport' that will indicate variations in each rider's drug-testing profile.
Bob Stapleton is investing more than $10 million of his own money to sponsor a cycling team that was kicked out of the Tour de France last summer.
He has named it Team High Road. "We want to be transparently drug-free," Stapleton said. "I still believe in this sport even when it's not easy."
Team High Road is one of four teams racing in this year's Amgen Tour of California that have committed nearly $500,000 each for doping programs that go beyond those of the International Cycling Union (UCI). The others are Slipstream Chipotle, CSC and Astana.
