Cycling-American Danielson fails doping test (Reuters)
American Tom Danielson has revealed he failed a doping test for synthetic testosterone but the Cannondale-Garmin rider denies taking a banned substance. “While I was eating dinner with my team the night before Tour of Utah I received a call from USADA notifying me that a out of competition test I gave July 9th has tested positive for, from what I understand, synthetic testosteron,” Danielson said on Twitter. “I have not taken this or any other banned substance.” Danielson was handed a six-month ban in 2012-13 after admitting to blood doping while riding with The Discovery Channel team.
