Paris – Australian rider Michael Rogers has been provisionally suspended following a positive test for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol, the International Cycling Union (UCI) said on Wednesday.

“The UCI advised Australian rider Michael Rogers that he is provisionally suspended,” the governing body said in a statement.

“The decision to provisionally suspend this rider was made in response to a report from the Wada-accredited laboratory in Tokyo indicating an adverse analytical finding of clenbuterol in a urine sample collected from him in a test during the Japan Cup Cycle Road Race on 20 October 2013.” – Reuters
