Acknowledges one-year sanction for positive doping test
The Luxembourg Anti-Doping Agency (Alad) has acceded the one-year ban imposed on Fränk Schleck by its Disciplinary Board. The UCI and Schleck both still have the option to appeal the decision from 30 January.
“After the expiration of the 21 day period and because of the reasons given in the Disciplinary Board's decision, the Board of Directors of Alad has decided not to appeal the decision,” according to an Alad press release issued Monday morning.
Schleck tested positive for Xipamide during the 2012 Tour de France. He could have received a two-year ban, but was handed only one year due to the exceedingly low amount of the prohibited substance.
