Another Tour cyclist caught
Another Tour cyclist caught: Spanish rider Iban Mayo tested positive for EPO during the last week of the Tour de France, according to French daily L'Equipe, and has been suspended by his team.
Doping allegations and suspicions have devastated the 2007 Tour, which ended Sunday. Three riders, including former overall leader Michael Rasmussen, and two teams were expelled during the three-week race.
Mayo's initial "A" sample, taken last Tuesday, the rest day, tested positive for the endurance-boosting drug, and cycling's governing body informed his Saunier Duval team of the results, L'Equipe reported Monday.
