The Amaury Sport Organisation, organizer of the Flèche Wallonne and Liège - Bastogne - Liège Classics, has stated that it will respect the process which is underway regarding Spaniard Alejandro Valverde's doping ban in Italy and alleged involvement in the Operación Puerto. However, ASO will not block his participation in both races this week.
