Rabobank to investigate Sutherland

The board of directors of the Rabobank cycling teams has given the go ahead for an independent investigation to the possible causes and circumstances that led to a positive A-sample in a UCI doping test of Rory Sutherland during the Deutschland Tour last month.

In order to monitor both the quality and independence of the investigation, the board of directors has requested the independent advisory board of the Rabobank cycling teams to guide the investigation and take responsibility for the final report and its conclusions. The board expects to release the composition of the investigation committee shortly.
