Raimondas Rumsas Jr has been banned from competition for four years over his positive test for GHRP-6, the Italian anti-doping agency announced today.
Rumsas Jr, the son of Lithuanian former professional Raimondas Rumsas, was provisionally suspended in October after the growth hormone-releasing peptide was detected in an out-of-competition test carried out at his home in Tuscany on September 4.
This week the Italian anti-doping agency decided on a four-year ban. Although, officially effective as of Tuesday January 23, it takes into account the provisional suspension already served and so the ban will run until October 22, 2021.

The 23-year-old has also been fined €378 to cover the costs of the procedure.
Rumsas Jr raced for the successful Team Soligo Amaru' Palazzago Sirio, managed by Olivano Locatelli, which has former Saeco professional Salvatore Commesso as a directeur sportif. Upon news of the initial suspension, the team moved quickly to distance themselves from the case, claiming that Rumsas had raced autonomously since the summer.
The sanction is the latest chapter in a sorry story surrounding the Rumsas family.
