UCI Appeal dismissed: No sanction against Inigo Landaluze
Inigo Landaluze was aquitted by the international sports court CAS. CAS dismissed most of the arguments
given by the rider, but it did accept there had been an error in the analysis procedure carried out by a laboratory in
France.
In a statement at www.tas-cas.org, CAS said: "It has been indeed established that the person who conducted the analysis of the B sample was also involved in
the analysis of the A sample, thus in violation of the international standard applicable to accredited laboratories."
Landaluze was tested positive for testosterone after he had won the overall of the 2005 Dauphiné Libere.
