American Danielson suspended after positive test (Reuters)

By Julien Pretot PARIS (Reuters) – American rider Tom Danielson has been suspended by his Cannondale-Garmin team after testing positive for synthetic testosterone but he denies taking a banned substance. The team issued a statement on Monday saying Danielson had returned an “adverse analytical A sample using carbon isotope testing” and had been suspended immediately. Danielson, who is awaiting the results of his B sample and could face a lifetime ban if that concurs wit the A sample, said on Twitter he had not used performance-enhancing drugs.
