Drug rumours denied
NZPA-AFP Bordeaux, France Rumours of drug taking involving the Tour de France leader, Pedro Delgado, of Spain, surfaced yesterday shortly after the riders finished the seventeenth stage. Delgado admitted he had heard rumours that he had failed the traditional dope test given to the race leader after every stage, but denied he had done anything wrong. “I don’t know if I tested positive — I don’t know what day I am supposed to have failed,” he said. “I simply just don’t understand it.”
