After an article in Dutch newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad reported that Chantal ```````van den Broek-Blaak tested positive for a banned substance in 2008,
Team SD Worx have moved quickly to try and put out the fire, saying in a statement that "this case has nothing to do with doping use.”
The article in question alleges that the 33-year-old Dutchwoman tested positive for a water pill called furosemide during the Junior World Championship in 2008. In the race, van den Broek-Blaak finished 2nd behind Elise van Hage and ahead of Annemiek van Vleuten, however she was not allowed to keep her silver medal.
