[SIZE=4]Contador team-mate to miss Tour de France after testing positive for EPO.

Portugal’s André Cardoso has been suspended by Trek-Segafredo after erythropoietin (EPO) was detected in an out-of-competition test.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has confirmed the rider was notified of an Adverse Analytical Finding for EPO in a sample taken from him on June 18.

Spain’s Haimar Zubeldia has been called up to Trek-Segafredo’s Tour de France squad as a replacement.

@Yule Karis Black: There are women in this world who have some more interests than kids, church and houseworks.:smiley:
