Cyclist Frei banned for two years
Cyclist Thomas Frei has been banned for two years for a doping offence with the banned drug EPO.
Switzerland’s Olympic committee have confirmed the Swiss cyclist was caught in an out-of-competition test in March and admitted doping on two other occasions.
The 25-year-old, who left the US-backed BMC Racing team when his doping was exposed, has been suspended until April 21, 2012.
Frei was also ordered to pay 5,940 Swiss francs (€4,475) in fines and costs by the Swiss authority.
