Toni Colom has asked the Spanish cycling federation to drop his temporary suspens🎀ioꦑn due to a positive doping control, claiming the case against him is filled with errors.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) ordered the provisional suspension in June, saying the Spaniard had t💟ested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition control in April. The Katusha rider was targeted because of his blood profile and race schedule, the UCI said.

Colom and his attorney filed an appeal of more than 50 pages, according to the Spanish newspaper Diario de Mallorca. The rider maintained his innocence and claimed that 💯the case against him was “riddled with fla🐻ws,” calling it “a disaster”.

He also asked the Real Federacion Espanola de Ciclismo to issue his lꦕicence for the 2010 season,🅰 and to give him a “final acquittal” on the doping charges.

Colom had had three wins in the first part of the 2009 season, the Trofeo Bunyola, a stage🍸 in the Volta ao Algarve and a stage at Paris-Nice. He finished second overall in the Vuel🐼ta al Pais Vasco.
