The International Cycling Union (UCI) on Wednesday lifted its doping ban on Australian Michael Rogers, who last year tested positive for clenbuterol.
Rogers was provisionally banned after testing positive for the banned stimulant, which increases aerobic capacity, in a urine sample at the Japan Cup last October.
However, the 34-year-old has now been partially exonerated as the UCI accepted his claim that he had not taken the substance intentionally.
“Upon careful analysis of Mr Rogers’ explanations and the accompanying technical reports, the UCI found that that there was a significant probability that the presence of clenbuterol may have resulted from the consumption of contaminated meat from China – where he had taken part in a race before travelling to Japan,” said a UCI statement.
