French cyclists question ethics of Rafael Nadal's Roland Garros injection use

Nadal cruised to the Roland Garros crown as he thrashed Norway's Casper Ruud 6-3 6-3 6-0 to win a historic 22nd grand slam title. 

Nadal has endured issues with his foot injury since 2005 when he was first diagnosed with a rare hereditary problem which affected his tarsal scaphoid bone. An insole in his trainer eradicated the issue as the player reached the pinnacle of the sport.

The 36-year-old returned to action after injecting his foot with painkilling drugs - something which helped him win this year's Australian Open.
