PARIS (Reuter) — This
year’s Tour de France
eycling race, marred by a
drug scandal and a revolt by
the viders, established that
atlietes cannot pedal up and
down mauntain roads for
three weeks on just mineral
water, orange juice and a
nourishing steak and salad
each night. .

The disqualification of
Belgian Michel Pollentier,
who was leading when he
was ousted for trying to
evade a dope test, showed
that many riders have to
take artificial stimulants to
keep going.

THE HERALD, Tuesday, fulv 25, 1978, Page 7

French race too tough

Even the winner, Fren-
chman Bernard Hinault, 23,
who triumphed Sunday in his
first Tour de France, was
involved in controversy over
what the riders called an
unnecessarily heavy race
schedule.

“We're not animals," said
Hinault at Valence d'Agen on
July 12 when the riders
declined a sprint after they
had been forced to make an
early-morning start
following two energysapping
days in the Pyrenees,

But it was the drug scandal
which tarnished the image of
the great race, forcing

France's sports minister,
Jean-Pierre Soisson, to take
uciion. .

Soisson ordered a team of
experts from Paris
University to begin a study
of top athletes’ resistance to
physical and mental stress.

It was no coincidence that
alk three riders to be
disqualified after drug
tests—Pollentier, Fren
chman Antoine Guttierez
and Spaniard Jose
Nazabal— ran into trouble
