Euskaltel suspends Pena over nandrolone positive
Published: May. 29, 2007
The management of the Spanish team Euskaltel-Euskadi said on Tuesday they had dropped Aketza Pena from the squad based on a positive result from an April 24 test for nandrolone, taken after the first stage of the Tour of Trentino.
A statement on the team’s official website said the UCI had informed the team of the result and that Pena was suspended effective immediately.
Tests on the A sample found higher-than-permitted levels of nandrolone, a banned anabolic steroid often used by body builders to augment muscle mass, though no figure was mentioned.
