The French anti-doping agency (AFLD) revealed that Riccardo Riccò tested positive for CERA on two other occasions during the Tour de France, making a total of four positive controls for the Italian. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his samples from before the Tour – July 4 – and the rest day – July 15 – were positive.
The Italian cycling federation (FCI) gave Riccò a two-year suspension last week. He will not face further punishment for the latest results, as all four positives were for the same substance at the same event.
