Stage 5 Brief:

The drugs scandal took a new turn this morning in Europe. Festina manager Bruno Roussel, who is being detained in Cholet by police investigating the widening drug smuggling scandal, has been suspended by the UCI. They announced this prior to the start of Stage 5.

Police in Cholet have detained Roussel, team doctor Eric Rijckaert and another senior official after soigneur Willy Voet, arrested and held in Lille, pointed the finger at the management. Festina are officially denying everything.

Tour de France director Jean-Marie Leblanc said that despite Roussel's suspension the team would not be kicked out of the Tour. Roussel's assistant Miguel Moreno will stand in his place.

Stage 5 left Cholet in fine rain for a flat journey across Bretagne. The expectation was that the stage would finish in a mass sprint. The first intermediate sprint came at 34.5 kms and George Hincapie regained 6 seconds on yellow jersey holder Stuart O'Grady. Second was green jersey holder, Czech Jan Svorada (Mapei) at 12 seconds and then Erik Zabel (Telekom) a further 2 seconds back.

By the 80 kms mark, the rain was really teeming down and it wasn't conducive to any attacking moves. At the second sprint (80 kms) won by Belgian Wilfried Peeters (Mapei). O'Grady, Jalabert, Svorada all lost time but regained it again after changes of bikes. 10 kms further on Aart Viehouten (Rabobank) attacked and a stream of tentative moves followed from the peloton. Only Thierry Gouvenou (BigMat) and Fabio Roscioli (Asics) got across to the Dutchman. The 3 riders maximised their gap by the 141 kms mark (3.40) and Thierry Gouvenou was the yellow jersey holder on the road.

As the stage finale came, the weather turned and the wind and rain abated. The breakaway was run down by the tireless work of GAN. They were caught with 30 kms to go and then it was time for the sprinters to line up.

At the end Mario Cipollini finally came through after several crashes and missed attempts to beat Erik Zabel and Christophe Mengin in the sprint. Thanks to the work of GAN, O'Grady kept his overall lead.

And surprisingly, Festina president Miguel Rodriguez said the company is not going to withdraw its sponsorship and backed both Roussel and the riders. He is reported as saying on Spanish TV that: It is out of the question to withdraw the team. The riders have nothing to be blamed for. They are tested everyday on the Tour and nobody has the right to stop them from doing their job. Obviously this is not good for our image and this is why we have filed a complaint. We are the first interested in knowing the truth," he said.

He confirmed, however, that if drug use was sustained then the company had a clause in the contract allowing it to withdraw.
