Doping
On 8 September 2010, while he was riding the 2010 Vuelta a España, it was announced that Sentjens had failed an out of competition doping control and would be suspended from cycling.[3] On 10 September, Sentjens admitted to having doped with EPO that he had obtained in Barcelona, Spain, and declined to request the testing of his B-sample. He also announced his immediate retirement from professional cycling.[4] He later reversed his decision to retire, and returned to cycling when the ban had expired.
Speaking about his decision to dope, Sentjens explained on his personal website: "My season was already a disaster. I did everything I could but I didn’t meet up to my own expectations. I couldn’t sleep anymore, thinking all the time how in the hell I could still improve, I did everything. But even that did not help and I fell into a depression."[5]
