The 29-year-old cyclist, who competed for Canada at the 2016 Rio Olympics and also raced in the 2019 Tour de France, said the Kazakh team did not give any particular health directive.The cycling season has been turned on its head this week with races being cancelled and teams withdrawing from events as a precaution.
