frank schleck doping - PAU - Tour de France hit by surprise when the rider from Luxembourg, Frank Schleck, third overall standings last year, 2012 were excluded from the ongoing race for failing a drugs test on Tuesday night or Wednesday (18/7) pm.
"After being told about the UCI Xipamide Frank Schleck in the urine examination on July 14, the team decided to pull Frank Schleck of the Tour de France championships," said a statement issued by RadioShack team-Nissan.
RadioShack stated Schleck came voluntarily to the police station so that the hotel is visited by the team even though witnesses said some police officers and officials who do not wear uniforms on patrol around the building in Pau on Tuesday night.
Examination of drug use was held after the 13th stage on July 14 and a substance found in urine Xipamide Schleck.
"With the Xipamide, the team claimed it's not a product that is in the drugs used and the team Xipamide Schleck in the urine sample is not clear to the team," a statement from RadioShack.
According to the regulation of the Board of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the specific content of the examination of urine samples and a forbidden material, then the athlete will get two years of sanctions.
RadioShack is a team that supports the seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong who along with team manager Johan Bruyneel is involved in a doping investigation launched by the Council of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Both have denied doing wrong.
Bad news during the second intermission was another blow on the tour for Schleck, who climbed behind the podium last year that earned her siblings after the 2012 tour of the Spanish rider Alberto Contador, was dropped because his yellow T-shirt involved doping.
