ANDORRA (Reuters) - On the Tour de France, success rhymes with doping suspicion and overall leader Tadej Pogacar is expected to be grilled again, juts like last year, if he retains his title at the end of the week.

The 22-year-old stunned fellow Slovenian Primoz Roglic in the final time trial last year to prevail on his Tour debut but has been in command from early on this time, building a massive advantage over his rival with a dominant time trial and impressive performances in the mountains.
