The Frenchman says he is in favour of banning ketones for reasons of fairness Cyclingweekly By: Jonny LONG
Guillaume Martin has added his voice to the call for action on ketone use in the peloton, joining fellow French riders Romain Bardet and Arnaud Démare in raising concerns over the so-called 'miracle drink'. The teams of all three riders, Cofidis, DSM and Groupama-FDJ, are members of the Movement for Credible Cycling (MPCC) who agree to not use ketones to aid performance. Meanwhile, non-members are free to use the product which is currently legally permitted by the UCI. For Martin, he is hopeful that heavy doping no longer exists in cycling but that grey areas such as the use of ketones need to be straightened out to make the peloton more of a level playing field for everyone.
