AIGLE, Switzerland (AP) The International Cycling Union says it has tested bicycles at the Tour de Romandie for using hidden motors and all the tests were negative.
The UCI said in a statement that 347 bikes belonging to all teams were tested on Friday and that it has made a total of 507 checks during the race.
Earlier this year, a new scanning method was used that helped the UCI detect a technological fraud at the world cyclo-cross championship.
Femke Van Den Driessche of Belgium has been banned from cycling for six years after for technological fraud, the first such sanction.
