UCI: No more doping cases from Tour de France

AIGLE, Switzerland (AP) — The International Cycling Union says final anti-doping analysis from the Tour de France showed no more positive tests, leaving one case from the 2012 race.

Frank Schleck tested positive for a diuretic called Xipamide on July 14 and was pulled from the three-week race.

The Luxembourg Anti-Doping Agency has sent the RadioShack Nissan Trek rider’s case to its disciplinary committee.

Schleck denies doping, and anti-doping rules classify the diuretic as a “specified substance” that is “more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation.”

Cycling’s governing body says laboratories in France, Germany and Switzerland analyzed riders’ doping control samples from the Tour.

The UCI says “samples received from the … laboratories all showed a negative result.”
