Tadej Pogacar, now three-time Tour champion, can understand the scepticism about his spectacular performances to a certain extent. However, after his triumph in the 111th Tour de France, the Slovenian cycling star gave a passionate speech against doping.Tainted Past
“There will always be doubts because cycling has been badly damaged,” Pogacar said on Sunday evening in Nice. “And in every sport, even in every situation in life, there are doubters and haters. If you don’t have haters, you’re probably not successful enough.”

However, Pogacar called resorting to doping “stupid”. In the past, “before my time” , there was “so much abuse in cycling. But risking your health with it is something very stupid,” said Pogacar: “How long can you ride as a professional? Until you’re 35? And then your health is ruined for the rest of your life? That’s stupid, it’s not worth it. Cycling is a sport, it’s fun.”
In Pogacar’s opinion, his sport is now in a good and clean state. “The world association has invested a lot of money and a lot of time to ensure that cycling is now one of the cleanest sports there is,” he said.mentions
