Among the others,  Caio Bonfim tested positive for a diuretic and is currently serving a 6 months ban...for me this is news.

And (if I understand correctly) according to this he failed two tests in May 2017, was notified about them in July 2017 but claimed contamination and managed to be allowed to race and win a medal at the World Championships...obviously in this last months he claimed to be injured.

He's definitely not a cyclist on a Tour de France-kind of level. His sister is more known (Eider Merino) as the around 65cm tall, 13kg (this might be a little exaggerated) female pro cyclist.

Igor Merino was caught for growth hormones by the way, didn't work so well, since he's still only 1,60m. I guess they've got tiny genes in that family
