Team Medellin "trusts" in Miguel Angel Lopez's innocence after UCI sanction

The cycling world has been shaken by the news of the provisional suspension of Miguel Angel 'Superman' Lopez by the International Cycling Union (UCI). The Colombian rider is the subject of an investigation due to the alleged "use and possession of a prohibited substance" in the weeks leading up to the Giro d'Italia 2022, a competition in which he ultimately did not participate.

In response to the sanction imposed by the UCI, Team Medellin - EPM, current team of Miguel Angel Lopez, has issued a statement in which it pronounces itself on the situation that the cyclist from Boyacá is going through. Through six points, the team expresses its support to the rider and communicates the first decision taken after the suspension.

Team Medellin - EPM has made it clear that it is aligned with the determinations of the UCI and, accordingly, "the rider withdraws from the Tour de Panama", competition in which he was participating at the time of the sanction. This decision shows the commitment of the Antioquia team to comply with the rules and regulations of professional cycling.

In the statement, Team Medellin also emphasizes that it will accompany Miguel Angel Lopez not only as an athlete but as a person, supporting his defense before the UCI and trusting that he will be acquitted of the accusations that led to his suspension. The team has stressed the importance of providing support and solidarity to its rider in this difficult moment.

Team Medellin has also stressed that this is a "possible infraction" and that the situation will be clarified in the course of the ongoing investigation. The Antioquia squad is attentive to the results of the final investigation against Lopez to proceed according to the findings.

The paisa team, in a gesture of full support, has invited the public, especially cycling fans, to "support" Miguel Ángel López and "trust" in his innocence. The rider has been one of the pillars of Colombian cycling in recent years, standing out for his great performances in the most important competitions of the cycling calendar.

Meanwhile, the cycling world anxiously awaits the outcome of this investigation, which will determine the future of one of the most talented cyclists on the international scene. The cycling community remains on tenterhooks, hoping that the truth will prevail and that justice will be served in this case.
