THIEZAC, France (AP) — The International Cycling Union says Russian cyclist Alexandr Kolobnev has tested positive for a banned substance at the Tour de France.

The UCI says that a urine sample collected during the race on July 6 tested positive for a substance called Hydrochlorothiazide based on tests carried out at the Chatenay-Malabry laboratory.

It is the first positive case at this year’s race.

Kolobnev was in 69th place heading into Tuesday’s 10th stage.

Kolobnev has the right to request a ‘B’ sample.
