Michel Pollentier (born 13 February 1951 in Diksmuide, West-Vlaanderen) is a Belgian former professional road bicycle racer. He became professional in 1973. The highlight of his career was his overall win in the 1977 Giro d'Italia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michel Pollentier - Rider Statistics Giro d'Italia - By: CyclingFever.com - The International Cycling Social Network )〕 In the 1978 Tour de France, he was the Belgian national champion when he won the stage arriving in Alpe d'Huez and took the yellow jersey. However, he was accused of foul play in the succeeding doping test, having used what was described politely as a pear-shaped tube (in fact a condom) of different urine held under the armpit and connected by a plastic tube to give the impression of urinating.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC SPORT - FUNNY OLD GAME - Nags on the fags and dodgy doping )〕 Pollentier was uncovered after another rider at the test had trouble operating his own system of tubes and aroused the suspicion of the doctor, who then demanded Pollentier lift his jersey to show if he too was cheating. He was put out of the Tour,〔 later won by Bernard Hinault. The affair took away most of Pollentier's credibility in international cycling. Even though he managed to win 1980s edition of the Tour of Flanders〔http://www.wielerarchief.be/RONDE%20VAN%20VLAANDEREN.htm〕 and he also came 2nd in the 1982 Vuelta a España.〔http://www.cyclinghalloffame.com/riders/rider_bio.asp?rider_id=435〕 1984 was his last professional season. After his cycling career, Pollentier became a car tyre garage owner and founded a cycling school. In "Seigneurs et Forcats du Velo" by Olivier Dazat, Pollentier is quoted as saying that he and another named Belgian cycling champion of the era had trouble after their careers because of drugs they had taken while racing. Dazat quotes him as saying: "I've never hesitated to confess that I spent three weeks under the surveillance of Dr Dejonckheere at the St-Joseph clinic at Ostend and that after treatment... I stayed under his control for another two years. Why hide it? It's impossible to come out of a situation like that without the help of a doctor.' He received a penalty for testing positive for the stimulant Methylphenidate (Ritalin) on stage 17 of the 1982 Vuelta a España.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1982 General Information )〕 == Palmarès == ;1971 :Gent - Staden ;1973 :Houthulst :Schinnen :Westende ;1974 :Leeuwse Pijl :Bredene :Tour de France: ::7th place overall classification ::Winner stage 21B ;1975 :Assebroek :Harelbeke :Kortenhoef :Merchtem :Beernem :Tour de France: ::Winner stage 13 ;1976 :Giro del Piemonte :Tour de France: ::7th place overall classification ::Winner stage 16 :Stadsprijs Geraardsbergen :Torino :Ronde van België :Oostduinkerke :Trofeo Baracchi (with Freddy Maertens) ;1977 :Brescia :De Panne ;1977 :Gouden Pijl Emmen : National Road Race Championship :Tour de Suisse :Valdengo :Vuelta a España: ::Winner stage 4 ::6th place overall classification :Nandrin, Criterium :Giro d'Italia: ::20px Winner overall classification ::Winner stage 21 ;1978 :Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré :GP Mallorca : National Road Race Championship :Soler :Trofeo Isla de Mallorca :Vichte ;1979 :Beveren-Leie :Circuit des genêts verts :GP du Tournaisis :Houthulst :Soignies :Mol :Ruiselede :Koekelare :Vuelta a España: ::3rd place overall classification ;1980 :Brabantse Pijl :Freiburg :Moorsele :Tour of Flanders :Moorslede :Dinant :Wingene :Sombreffe ;1981 :Sleidinge ;1982 :Bellegem :Beveren-Leie :Gistel :Omloop van de Westkust De Panne :Kortemark :Vuelta a España: ::2nd place overall classification ;1983 :De Panne :Anderlues :De Haan :Aartrijke :Herselt :Torhout :Adinkerke ;1984 :Vuelta a España: ::Winner stage 6 :Lutlommel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michel Pollentier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
