Polish rider Bartosz Huzarski posted this image on Facebook after the 18th stage of the Tour de France last Thursday.

People were shocked to see the image which Huzarski posted on his personal Facebook page.

The image was of his legs which had very pronounced veins and had many people commenting that it was possibly 'drug related'.

The 33-year-old cyclist was bombarded accusations of doping but he tried to reassure people that it was quite normal.

The Daily Mail reported that Huzarshi explained the image saying: 

"Of course I will not have legs like Victoria’s Secret models, or Mary from a nearby vegetable shop, or anyone working in an office who does a 10km bike ride or an hour run three times a week."

"It is not unhealthy."

The fact that Huzarski is standing up in the picture also exacerbates the condition as gravity would cause the veins to fill with blood.
