# Night-time doping tests for Vingegaard and Pogacar authorised by Paris judge

A Paris judge has authorised anti-doping officials to conduct night-time tests on cyclists Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar. The ruling allows unscheduled testing during off-hours, a rare step in professional cycling. This move could set a precedent for stricter, unpredictable doping controls in the sport.

**Importance:** 3/5
