Montagny test positive of cocaine

Former Formula 1 driver and current driver of Andretti Autosport in FIA Formula E, Frank Montagny test positives in anti-doping control during the ePrix of Putrajaya.


Frank Montagny could has finished his motorsport career. The French driver test positives of cocaine in anti-doping control after the ePrix of Putrajaya. Montagny said to the French newspaper “L’Equipe”:

“Racing may be over for me. After the race, I saw the guy who control making a signal to me. There in my head, I understood immediately. I knew it was over for me. I took the plane. I went shopping for two days. I didn’t want to be alone at home. Then I called my parents to tell them. I was ashamed.”

That is the reason for why Jean-Éric Vergne was called as an urgency to compete in the Punta del Este ePrix.

This makes his more than possible retirement of motor racing. He had a successful career in the World Series by Renault but he couldn’t compete in a competitive team in Formula 1. Also he didn’t succeed with Peugeot at Le Mans. His debut in FIA Formula E with a podium at Beijing was a mirage for the Frenchman who the cocaine makes the end of his career.

Stay tuned to know who will replace Frank Montagny at Andretti Autosport, but as FormulaRapida.net know the new Andretti guy in Buenos Aires ePrix could be Marco Andretti.
