Austrian cyclist Valentina Cavallar publicly criticized and denounced a surprise antidoping control conducted at her home by authorities in September. The test took place just hours after her mother passed away, with the deceased body remaining in the adjoining room at the time of the inspection.
Cavallar, who finished ninth in the Giro d'Italia and twelfth in the Vuelta a España earlier this year and competes for the team designated as S, highlighted the distressing nature of the timing amid her personal tragedy.
