Jure Kocjan has been provisionally suspended by the UCI for an anti-doping rule violation dating back to 2012. An anti-doping sample taken from him on March 8, 2012 tested positive for EPO.
Kocjan was racing with the Team Type 1 Sanofi squad that year. The date of the sample was the eve of Dwars door Drenthe, where Kocjan finished 35th.
The governing body added the Slovenian to the list of suspensions without providing additional information beyond the substance and sample collection date.

Kocjan told Cyclingnews via email that his A sample was negative when tested in 2012.
"At this moment I do not have a lot to say," he wrote. "Sample A was negative back in 2012 and now B turns out positive. Because of investigation I can't say much more right now."
Kocjan moved up to the WorldTour following his two seasons with Team Type 1, joining Euskaltel-Euskadi, but after the team folded, he returned to the US domestic circuit with Team Smartstop.
