There is much anger at the Tour de France. The reason is doping tests in the night. People check the bike riders Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard. This happens in the middle of the night. Someone wakes Pogacar at 5 o'clock. Vingegaard wakes up at 2 o'clock.
Tests usually happen from 6 to 23 o'clock. You need a permission for the night. A judge from Paris allows the tests. There is a serious suspicion. Only at night can one find special drugs. These drugs leave the blood very fast.
Many bike riders complain about the tests. Sleep is very good for the body. Without sleep one cannot focus well. Vingegaard falls hard after the short night. He breaks his collar bone. He must stop the race at once.
The team from Red Bull has tests too. The testers come on Monday evening. This is at 22 o'clock. The team boss Ralph Denk likes the tests. He says: The sport must be clean. Only then is the bike sport honest. The rules allow these late tests.
