Impey (@darylimpey) tweeted the following today: “This is best news to give to all my family ,friends, team and fans …”
Cyclingnews reported earlier this year that he had tested positive for Probenecid and been removed from Orica-GreenEDGE’s roster.
Impey responded to his failed drug test saying: “I had no knowledge of Probenecid nor have I ever taken the substance knowingly in any manner. I am committed to drug-free sport and fully intend to take all steps necessary to clear myself of any suspicion.”
Earlier today, Impey wrote on his personal website: “While I can now put this behind me and move on, I would like to thank my wife, my family, my team ORICA-GreenEDGE, friends and fans who sent me such kind messages during this tough time and I am thrilled that I could prove my innocence for all of you who stood by me.”
