MPCC president speaks out against Quintana - "It was Nairo Quintana who failed to meet international standards"

As the year progresses into its second month, the situation for Nairo Quintana, the Colombian rider, continues to pose increasing difficulty as he remains without a contract.

His plan was to travel to Europe and meet with several important cycling institutions, including the International Cycling Union and the Movement for Credible Cycling, for the purpose of comprehending his situation and assessing his chances of making a comeback in the peloton.

The latest statement from Roger Legeay, president of the Movement for Credible Cycling, is unfavourable for him. “We must not reverse blame in this case. It was Nairo Quintana who failed to meet international standards and this fact has been confirmed by both the UCI and the Court of Arbitration for Sport There will be no meeting, there is no change in our position on the matter,” Legeay told El Tiempo.

This occurrence has transpired at a critical moment for Quintana, who was actively seeking support following his announcement of a plan to negotiate against the ruling that disqualified him from the 2022 Tour de France on the basis of two tramadol positives in July of that year.
