Spain's women's team suffers a setback - Ane Santesteban does not start women's elite World Championships
Cycling
Unfortunately, Ane Santesteban will be out of the elite women's road race at the Glasgow World Championships this Sunday. The Team Jayco-AlUla rider herself has confirmed it on her personal Instagram account.
It is a very sensitive loss for the team's aspirations in Glasgow, as she had been showing incredible form, finishing eighth in the recent Women's Tour de France. A flu that has kept her with fever for several days has been the cause of the abandonment of the 32-year-old Basque runner.

- Any artificial product should be reported.Any team that doesn't should be stripped of wins and fined.I know that this level of transparency does not and will never exist.All anyone can do is continue to test riders on a regular and surprise basis.If the test comes back clean then all any of us can assume is the rider is clean.

- How would stats back it up? You realise tactics involved could mean Vine saved his legs for a faster finish? Some riders can choose to go all out and fade later in the ride, others can hold steady state the whole way, and others can have a reserved start and power up later in the ride. You can't judge just by the stats unless you have power data to be able to prove Vine is riding faster even though he is putting out the same or less power (suggesting drafting). I'm sure the stats prove that Vine didn't cheat because UCI would monitor the stats to make sure this exact scenario doesn't happen (and disqualify them for drafting if the stats proved it).Pogboom19-10-2026
- Only one person would say such a thing here. Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m afraid that window of opportunity has now closed. You can beat some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t beat all of the people all of the time.Jumpyjohn19-10-2026
- Both prizes are actually pathetic, almost amateur like, not even covering the cost of participatingJumpyjohn19-10-2026
- It depends on how you define doping and you would do well to give your definition so we can see how against it you are. If you consider the use (as a hypothetical example) of a new beneficial artificial product unknown to anti-doping agencies ok without considering asking them if it would constitute doping if you told them about it then we’re never going to agree on who could be or couldn’t be doping and according to what threshold, moral, statistical, legal, comparative. In football even financial doping is now consideredJumpyjohn19-10-2026
