Sylvain Georges, who won the Big Bear stage of the Tour of California in 2012 tested postive for a stimulat heptaminol at the Giro d’Italia. The B sample also was positive. Georges says he bought a medicine that was supposed to improve leg circulation and that he didn’t read the package ingredients. He said it was stupid of him.
Now his AG2R team will not start the Critrerium du Dauphine as a result of this.
The UCI wants the French cycling federation to start disciplinary proceedings.
