The UCI announced today that Trek-Segafredo rider André Cardoso has been provisionally suspended for an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) of Erythropoietin, more commonly known as EPO, in a sample collected in an out-of-competition test on June 18.
The 32-year-old Portuguese rider has the right to request and attend the analysis of the B sample in accordance with UCI Anti-Doping Rules.
"The control was planned and carried out by the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation (CADF), the independent body mandated by the UCI, in charge of defining and implementing the anti-doping strategy in cycling," the UCI said in announcing Cardoso's suspension, adding that it would not comment further at this stage.
