Team Bahrain Victorious (UCI team code: TBV[2]) is a UCI WorldTeam cycling team from Bahrain which was founded in 2017.[3] Its title sponsor is the government of Bahrain.
History
The idea for a Bahrain pro cycling team was started in August 2016 by Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.[4] The team is financed by the government of Bahrain to promote the country worldwide.
Doping
On 5 September 2018, the UCI announced that an out-of-competition test had resulted in an adverse analytical finding of Erythropoietin in a sample collected 31 July 2018. Kanstantsin Sivtsov was provisionally suspended pending the result of any B sample test.[5]
Following Stage 17 of the 2021 Tour de France the team, French police raided the team's hotel and bus on the suspicion of doping.[6] The Police confirmed they conducted the raids and have the riders' training files in their possession, and "A preliminary enquiry has been opened to see if there has been, or not, acquisition, transport or possession of banned substances".[7]
