Already, when the case was known in the middle of december, they appeared as a rather thin cup of tea, and now the belgian Tosh van der Sande cleared of suspicion of doping.

He is immediately taken to the mercy of his employer, the belgian large groups Lotto-Soudal, which suspended him when his positive test from a seksdagesløb in november came for a day.

the Substance he tested positive for, was from a nasal spray by the name of Sofasolone, and it is allowed to use in competition, if only dopingmyndighederne get to know.

It didn’t, as Tosh Van der Sande was tested, and it set his career on the game and tarnished his reputation.

– I am happy that it is over. Thank you to everyone who supported me, writes Tosh Van der Sande on Twitter, where he further annoyed that he managed to be boxed in with the sports dopingsyndere, before the facts were known.

– I just had to explain how the substance in question was found in my urine. It was an administrative error, writes Van der Sande.

In a press release writes, Lotto-Soudal, to the international cykleunion, the UCI, has accepted the Tosh Van der Sande explanation, and that the rider will immediately be recorded on the team again.

Justice for the Tosh. Let us get started with a great season, writes the sporting director of the team, Marc Sergeant, on Twitter.
