Dueñas positive confirmed

Proving that tests conducted by the French National Anti-Doping Authority (AFLD) during this year's Tour were effective, it's been confirmed that Moises Dueñas' result was indeed positive for EPO.

After counter analysis of the Spaniard's B-sample by the AFLD, its President, Pierre Bordry, announced Tuesday that the former Barloworld rider had consumed EPO prior to the stage four time trial in Cholet. Dueñas' offence saw him expelled from the race and his team questioned by police.
