#ATENCIÓN 🚨 Estamos encantados de hacer oficial la vinculación de @SupermanlopezN al equipo para la presente temporada. Qué orgullo que vistas nuestros colores y representes a Medellín por Colombia y el mundo. Bienvenido campeón, MEDELLÍN será siempre tu casa 🔝
The transfers is official. Miguel Ángel López, after his contract termination with Astana Qazaqtstan Team, has returned to Colombia and will race for Team Medellin - EPM.
The Colombian was fired by the Kazakh team following connections with a Spanish doping ring. For several months an investigation had been ongoing in Spain, and López was deeply involved in it. It is rumoured that his abandon at the Giro d'Italia may have happened due to a reaction to a growth hormone known as Menotropin.
Despite this, he is currently not suspended as there are currently no evidence of use of prohibited substances. Unlike his compatriot Nairo Quintana however, López has secured a spot in the peloton for the 2023 season.
He is now heading towards Colombia as was reported earlier this week. His calendar will revolve around the continental team's schedule and he is meant to be a headliner, alongside the likes of Oscar Sevilla and Fabio Duarte with whom he will share a team.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
