All clear: no riders fail medical or doping tests
BBC SPORT | Tour riders are cleared to race
With less than 48 hours until racing begins, Tour de France organizers announced that all 189 riders from all 21 teams in this year's Tour were green-lighted after 2-hour medical and doping tests.
Last year, one rider, Euskaltel-Euskadi's Gorka Gonzalez, had a hematocrit over 50 and was not allowed to start.

It was a "Random" test, I think they do them daily along with the top 3 overall and stage winners
