A statement from Robert Stannard:

“I have been notified by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) that it considers that I committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation more than four years ago.

 

I have never intentionally or knowingly used a prohibited substance and will therefore ask for my case to be referred to the UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal. 

 

I look forward to filing my defence and am confident of being exonerated and continuing my career.

 

I will respect the confidentiality of the procedure and therefore will not be commenting further.”
