Adam Hansen, the recently elected president of CPA, opened up yet another topic that was previously barely discussed within the cycling circles. His tweet focuses on mistreatment from the Anti-Doping doping controllers who are, seemingly, not always approaching riders in the most appropriate way.
"Considering you riders are the only athletes in the world that pay 2.5% of your prize money towards them, they must respect your rights and treat you as humans within their regulations" - Hansen also reminds that it's riders who are actually paying the controllers.
"I don't mind when they come, but when my wife is giving to birth to our child and they insist they need to come in to hospital and be with us in the room until I pee that I find that common sense can't prevail," Daryl Impey, rider for Israel - Premier Tech, commented.
CPA - Cyclistes Professionnels Associés, is an organization which is fighting for better working conditions for professional cyclists, which Hansen has joined after ending his career within the World Tour. He currently races for the WSA KTM Graz p/b Leomo team.
