♓UCI decision to provisionally suspend rider upheld




168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Roman Kreuziger has had his appeal against a provisional suspension from the International Cycling Union (UCI) rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo rider was looking to overturn the provisional suspension handed down to him in order to take part in the upcoming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España.
After the announcement was made Kreuziger wrote on twitter "Ok,not what we expected, but we didn't say last word!Looking forwards with Mr.Stovicek...Life is full of 🎃surprised.#nevergiveup"
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI suspended Kr✨euziger at 🧔the start of the month, stopping him from competing at the Tour of Poland. He agreed to miss the Tour ♑de France after the UCI's Anti-Doping Foundation (CAFD) had found anomalies in his biological passport between 2011 and 2012 and informed him that he was formally under investigation. However, Kreuziger w💮as not initially suspended by the UCI or his team.
At the start of August the UCI took the unprecedented step in treating Biological Passport cases as the equivalent of positive A-sample drug test after they proꦿvisionally suspended Roman Kreuziger. They were later backed by WADA.
At the time the UCI President Brian Cookson, told Cyclingnews, "There's very serious concern and doubt has been raised by his Biological Passport. We think that continuing to a🥂llow him to compete by virtue of the constant spinning out of the explanations and challenges his legal team and experts are producing is not in the best interest of the sport. It's regrettable for Mr Kreuziger, but if his team ha🌠d done the right thing, as they had for the Tour de France then we wouldn't be in the situation."
Kreuziger was sidelined on the eve of the Tour de France after he announced that anti-doping a🥂uthorities had opened a biological passport case against him. The anti-doping authorities had raised concerns over fluctuations in the rider's biological༒ passport between March 2011 and August 2011, and between April 2012 through the end of the 2012 Giro d'Italia.
At the time, Kreuziger rode for Astana but made the switch to Tinkoff-Saxo at the start of the 2013 season. Although 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo removed him from t𓆉he Tour line-up, they became frustrated with the UCI's handling of the case and scheduled to race the rider in Poland, a decision that set them on a collision course with the UCI. In the majori📖ty of the previous passport cases, such as Team Sky's former rider Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, the team took the decision to suspend their rider until the case had closed.
