"I did not run away or strike an organiser": Cycling film actor accused of motor doping denies any wrongdoing, while race director still "upset" following alleged incident
The public prosecutor in the town of Beauvis in northern France confirmed that a separate investigation is ongoing into Iera's allegedthat could potentially lead to a five-year prison sentence and fine of up to €375,000; however, Iera claims an investigation has found him innocent of these charges too.
"I have responded to all the questions the investigators had in order to demonstrate my good faith. I have given them all the technical information and equipment. And all my performances have been analyzed. Hence, I have to highlight the professionalism and objectivity the gendarmes of Beauvais have shown during the process.
Before it was deleted, Iera's Instagram account shown him riding with a number of current WorldTour cyclists, including Chris Froome and Rigoberto Urán. His Strava account has now also disappeared, after his most recent upload - the second stage of Les Routes de l'Oise - became inundated with comments in reference to the alleged motor doping and incident involving Lenormand that followed.
