After a professional cycling team was raided by police on the eve of the Tour de France we’re asking can the sport ever clean up its image?

Team Bahrain Victorious were raided twice in the week building up to road cycling’s most iconic race - the Tour de France.

Authorities visited 14 locations in six countries as part of the same doping investigation launched by French Police into the team during last year’s race.

Bahrain Victorious maintain they have done nothing wrong and say they will "co-operate in all procedures".

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Matt Warwick, Tom Cary, Olivier Banuls, Karl Lima.
