Hat bei Jumbo-Visma noch einen Vertrag bis 2024: Der 22-jährige Michel Heßmann.
The German professional cyclist Michel Heßmann from Münster has been suspended after a positive doping test.
As his team Jumbo-Visma announced, a diuretic was detected during a training test in Germany on 14 June. The drugs stimulate urine production and thus dehydrate the body.
Michel Heßmann celebrated his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d'Italia
The 22-year-old from Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard's team made his Grand Tour debut this year at the Giro d'Italia after becoming European champion with the mixed relay team in 2020. Hessmann still has a contract with Jumo-Visma until 2024.
