This took some months after the main problems started....Won the Tour de l'Avenir in 2014, yet only Astana wanted him (because the rest didn't trust him and obviously Astana is a team that doesn't care about such minor issues).  When arriving in Europe, he was placed at the home of Spanish former rider Vicente Belda...who had been a known doper and as a team manager was involved in the Operacion Puerto case, plus who is seen as a big figure in a Spanish criminal investigation (with ties to medicine and doping distribution, surprisingly), with doctor Marco Maynar Mariño named as the main guy. Mariño, who Miguel Angel Lopez was was connected with several months ago (leading to Lopez even being in trouble with Spanish police for a bit).

 

In this time, Lopez used to train with Vicente's son David Belda. Well, until David got caught with EPO, that is. Luckily for him he managed to evade problems by riding for small and not so well controlled Team Medellin back home in Colomba before all this :p 

 

But other than all that, super surprising! :d

Wonder if he might face some legal issues as well: “Ostarine has similar effects to testosterone and is not approved for human consumption in any country.

Is there any test left to be made from 2016 ? :coffee:

I believe they could still retest a sample if one was taken then. @Dragon knows more about those policies I think.

Would be good, but also I wouldn't be surprised if he started doping in the past years, in which he has been nearly entirely invisible. Wouldn't be the first former top-level performer who gets desperate when it doesn't work anymore.

Reckon so - they always keep samples back given that new tests are always being invented.  But it’s a tough one because he did not do anything really extraordinary in 2016, he won just by hitting his targets first time not third.

Dopers don't always do extraordinary things though :p

:ITA Alexandra Agiurgiuculese disqualified for 12 months for a missed test. She forget to update their position when she was in an international competition in Portugal.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
