López’s counterattack

The Boyacá cyclist issued a statement on Monday and announced legal action after learning of the group’s decision.

“Mr. Miguel Angel López considers this decision absolutely unjustified, there being no new fact that justifies him and that was unknown in November 2022 by the Astana team, rejecting any insinuation that harms his name and honor as a professional cyclist, and remembering that never during his career has he tested positive for any doping substance or has he even been the object of investigation by the competent authorities, ”says the letter.

And it adds: López reports that she will exercise all legal actions that assist her in defense of her rights, given what she understands to be a clear case of abusive dismissal and without just cause. (Miguel ‘Supermán’ López: Astana makes a drastic decision with his contract)
