Athletic career
Rémy Di Grégorio was the 2003 French junior time trial champion. In the same year he also won a stage in the Junior Lower Saxony Tour . For the 2005 season he received a contract with the French cycling team La Française des Jeux . He celebrated his first international success at the 2006 Tour de l'Avenir with a stage win on the eighth stage ahead of Philip Deignan and Matthieu Sprick . In 2011 he moved to the Astana Pro Team and to Cofidis the following season .
In 2011 Di Grégorio won a stage from Paris-Nice . At the Tour de France 2011 , he was 39th and achieved his neatest placement of a total of eight Grand Tour participations. In 2012 he was stage winner at the Vuelta a Asturias .
On the first day of rest of the 2012 Tour de France , Di Grégorio was arrested by the French police in his team hotel in Bourg-en-Bresse . This happened on the instructions of the judge Annaïck Le Goff from Marseille , who had been investigating doping against Di Grégorio since 2011 . He was then dismissed from his team Cofidis. After Di Grégorio was acquitted of doping charges in spring 2013 by the court of appeal in Aix en Provence because the suspected substances were only vitamins , he threatened to sue his former team. Cofidis said the discharge was justified because Di Gregorio had worked with external doctors without permission, contrary to team rules.
In 2013 he won the overall ranking of the Tour of Bulgaria and in 2014 that of the Tour de Taiwan . In February 2018, Di Gregorio won a stage of the Tour La Provence .
During the Paris – Nice race a month later, he tested positive for the EPO preparation darbepoetin and was temporarily suspended. The year before, he had originally announced his retirement at the end of the season. In May 2020, a four-year ban was pronounced, it is banned until March 7, 2022.
