WorldTour team Bahrain Victorious appear to have removed comments pertaining to their new signing Robert Stannard, after the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) issued a statement rebutting the team and rider’s claims about the Australian’s recent anti-doping case.
Stannard, 25, was announced as a Bahrain Victorious rider on Tuesday, joining the squad with immediate effect after the conclusion of a drawn-out anti-doping case, which both the rider and team appeared to deny the ruling of in a release confirming the news.
