Alpecin-Deceuninck have announced that their 24-year-old Australian rider, Robert Stannard has been provisionally suspended after learning of past anti-doping violations.
The UCI has informed the team of a pair of incidents dating back from 2018 and 2019, whilst he was riding for the Mitchelton-Scott team at a World Tour level.
"This specific case dates back to 2018 and 2019, more than four years ago and more than three years before the transfer of Stannard to our team," Alpecin-Deceuninck announce in a post on their official Twitter account.
"We respect the decision of the UCI and will conform to this. In the meanwhile, we will further inform us with the rider, his management, and the UCI," the statement continues.

- If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
