LE HAVRE, France (Reuters) - Cycling should be treated the same as other sports when it comes to doping, members of the elite French team FDJ said on Thursday after three of their riders were subjected to late night blood tests.

FDJ coach Julien Pinot, whose brother Thibaut finished third in last year's Tour de France, and team doctor Gerard Guillaume were fuming after the anti-doping control carried out at 11pm on Wednesday.
