1998 Tour de France


 

The 1998 Tour de France was marred by doping scandals throughout, starting with the arrest of Willy Voet a soigneur in the French Festina team. Voet was traveling into France when he was arrested and found with large quantities of doping products. As a result, repeated police raids found drugs in the rooms of the TVM team, and as a reaction the riders staged a sit-down protest of the treatment. The Spanish teams pulled out of the race at the urging of the ONCE team, led by Laurent Jalabert the French National Champion.
