US EditionFormer top cyclist Miguel Ángel López has his appeal against 4-year doping ban dismissed
- On November 21, 2024, the final appeal of Colombian cyclist Miguel Ángel López against his four-year doping suspension was denied by the international sports arbitration tribunal.
- The ban resulted from Operation Ilex, a Spanish investigation revealing López's use and possession of Menotropin during the 2022 Giro d'Italia.
- López received Menotropin, a medication typically prescribed for female infertility that also promotes testosterone production in men, between May 1-5, 2022, just prior to the start of the Giro d'Italia.
- The CAS panel expressed confidence that the UCI had provided sufficient evidence and reached a unanimous decision confirming López’s violation, resulting in a suspension lasting until July 24, 2027.
- López remains banned until July 2027, and the UCI and ITA welcomed the ruling as a reinforcement of cycling's integrity while López maintains the ban is unjustified.
