LottoNL-Jumbo have dismissed Juan José Lobato after the Spaniard was found to have taken sleeping medication outside of the team's supervision at a training camp.
The team confirmed the Spaniard's dismissal and a two-month internal suspension for Tolhoek and Eenkhoorn on Monday.
Lobato was found asleep by the team management and could not be immediately awoken. He was later taken to hospital along with Antwan Tolhoek and Pascal Eenkhoorn, who also took Noctamid and Stilnox. Both Eenkhoorn and Lobato spent the night at hospital. All three riders were sent home from the training camp in Girona, Spain.

Eenkhoorn and Tolhoek also were called to the team management's offices on Monday for a disciplinary talk, but Lobato's fate had already appeared to have be sealed.
"We're trying to find a solution with him and his management so it's not 100 per cent. It depends on the conditions that we discuss. The intention is that he leaves the team. There's very little chance that he stays," a team spokesperson told Cyclingnews.
"Eenkhoorn and Tolhoek are invited to our offices tomorrow, where we will decide their future. They have to explain some things and they might stay, they might not. We'll communicate the situation tomorrow."
