Team Sky has reiterated that they are helping Sergio Henao submit information as part of his Biological Passport case and that the deadline for the rider to make a submission to the relevant anti-doping bodies is today, Monday.
The Colombian was notified of a "potential anti-doping rule violation" by the Cycling Anti Doping Foundation (CADF), the anti-doping arm of the UCI, in April and given 20 days to respond to them with a request for more information. Team Sky broke the news of the correspondence between the governing body and the rider on April 20.
“We are currently working with Sergio to finalise the submission of his response to the UCI,” a spokesperson for the team told Cyclingnews on Monday.

“He will not be part of our race programme whilst this process is ongoing, but we continue to fully support Sergio and look forward to his return to racing.”
The team added that the deadline for Henao to submit information was today.
Henao was first withdrawn from racing in March 2014 and was subsequently placed on a Team Sky ‘altitude research programme’ of testing. At the time Team Sky contacted the CADF with their findings, which were based on a test done in October 2013 when Henao was back in Colombia. The test was part of the UCI's out-of-competition testing programme.
