Earlier today, the UCI advised Italian rider Gabriele Bosisio that he is provisionally suspended. The decision to provisionally suspend Mr Bosisio was made in response to a report from the WADA accredited laboratory in Lausanne indicating an Adverse Analytical Finding of Recombinant EPO in a urine sample collected from him at an out-of-competition test on 2 September 2009.
This adverse finding was a direct result of a targeted urine test conducted immediately after a blood test triggered an unusual blood profile within the biological passport programme.
The provisional suspension remains in force until a hearing panel convened by the Italian Cycling Federation determines whether Mr Bosisio has committed an anti-doping rule violation under Article 21 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules.
Mr Bosisio has the right to request and attend the analyses of his B sample.
Under the World Anti-Doping Code and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, the UCI is unable to provide any additional information at this time.
