Top cyclist Jakob Fuglsang took to social media on Monday to contest links to disgraced Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, in response to reports of an investigation into the Olympic road race silver medallist.
Reports in Denmark say the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation (CADF) has detailed accounts of alleged links between the Danish cyclist and the banned doctor, but the
International Cycling Union (UCI) says it has yet to see any report. Fuglsang's team Astana has denied knowledge of the links, saying in a statement it "does not collaborate with any suspicious doctor, such as Dr Michele Ferrari."
"Accordingly I have no case to answer. I am extremely concerned that such rumours could be spread out in the press."
Earlier on Monday, former Danish cyclist Brian Holm said the reports into links between Fuglsang and Ferrari were rumours that had been circulating since "last spring."
