Dutch rider Marc Lotz will retire from the professional cycling scene. His planned comeback with the British Professional Continental team Pedaltech-Cyclingnews has fallen through.
Lotz rode for Team Rabobank from 1998 to 2004 before joining Belgian team Quick.Step. He was suspended in 2005 for two years when a police raid found forbidden performance-enhancer EPO in his refrigerator. Lotz rode for the amateur team Löwik after his suspension expired this summer.
